Best acceleration method???

Hi,

For best acceleration methods, which is best?

Apache?

Or

PHP?

Can you please provide an example of the better one? On how to work it/configure it?

Thanks!

HUH?

PHP is Server-side HTML embedded scripting language
and Apache is a web server....

I don't understand your question.

From Wikipedia,

# Accelerator (library), a library that allows programs to be written for the graphics processing unit
+ Cryptographic accelerator, performs decrypting/encrypting

Maybe one of these?

As has been pointed out before, Apache and PHP really aren't really comparable things, and neither are acceleration methods, per se, so a bit of clarity would be helpful. (What are you trying to achieve? in what way are Apache and/or PHP involved? why do you think that there is problem? what would represent success?).

I have a horrible suspicion that the answer is either

use squid
enable internal caching (although that implies that the question is rather more complex than anything that you've hinted at, so far)

but I'd have a lot more confidence in any answer if I understood exactly what you were asking. And, tbh,

the additional information that it, in some way, concerns a CentOS server didn't help appreciably.
