Help installing eAccelerator
 

Hello,

I'm trying to install eAccelerator on Debian Lenny.
I followed the instructions at http://www.debianadmin.com/php-cache...tutorials.html and got as far as
./configure –enable-eaccelerator=shared –with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config and got the result configure: error: invalid variable name: –enable-eaccelerator

Has anybody had any success in getting eAccelerator to work with Debian Lenny?

TYIA

try
./configure --enable-eaccelerator

Thanks...but
 

Hello,

Many thanks for your reply, that did something. Then I ran "make" as per instruction...got "make: command not found" guess I'm missing something from my installation.

Many Thanks.

You probably also want to install

Yep
 

That did the trick, thank you very much for your help. One last question, is there any merit in installing it as a Zend extention? Whatever that is!

If you're building a web server or using a database like mysql, then it might be. I have lived a long and happy life without it ;)
cheers,
jdk

Hmm
 

Spoke too soon.

Put

xtension=”eaccelerator.so”
eaccelerator.shm_size=”16″
eaccelerator.cache_dir=”/tmp/eaccelerator”
eaccelerator.enable=”1″
eaccelerator.optimizer=”1″
eaccelerator.check_mtime=”1″
eaccelerator.debug=”0″
eaccelerator.filter=”"
eaccelerator.shm_max=”0″
eaccelerator.shm_ttl=”0″
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period=”0″
eaccelerator.shm_only=”0″
eaccelerator.compress=”1″
eaccelerator.compress_level=”9″

In my /etc/php/apache2/php.ini restarted apache and it gets changed to

extension=eaccelerator.so
eaccelerator.shm_size=163
eaccelerator.cache_dir=/tmp/eaccelerator
eaccelerator.enable=13
eaccelerator.optimizer=13
eaccelerator.check_mtime=13
eaccelerator.debug=03
eaccelerator.filter="
eaccelerator.shm_max=03
eaccelerator.shm_ttl=03
eaccelerator.shm_prune_period=03
eaccelerator.shm_only=03
eaccelerator.compress=13
eaccelerator.compress_level=93

It doesn't like the quotation marks!

which php version are you using?

oops
 

php5 sorry that should of been etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

try add the " manually
it should give " not ″

Why
 

Why oh why when I try to install something on debian that's not an apt-get do I end up in the $#~* ?

Edited with " and that seems ok now in the php.ini but trying the test page with
<?php
eaccelerator();
?> (after re-starting apache) and I get:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function eaccelerator() in /var/www/test.php on line 1"

Did you do the "make install" after the "make" command ?

Yep
 

I followed http://www.debianadmin.com/php-cache...tutorials.html religeously.

The only difference was the line ./configure –enable-eaccelerator=shared –with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config which was changed to ./configure –enable-eaccelerator

Arggggghhh!

Hmmm
 

./configure –enable-eaccelerator=shared –with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config

I dont see a /usr/bin/php-config file but I do have a /usr/bin/php-config5. Should the line be ./configure –enable-eaccelerator=shared –with-php-config5=/usr/bin/php-config5 ?

you could try, look for error messages.
If there are error messages, you will not be able to use make until the errors are gone.
then do
and
