It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them in compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated.

How to install eaccelerator?

Download the eaccelerator-0.9.5.3 at http://www.eaccelerator.net/

unzip the file under temporary directory, unzipped/ , for example.

You need php5-dev pack first in order to use "phpize"

apt-get install php5-dev

Once it is done, phpize will be installed in /usr/bin/phpize .

execute the below commands at the command prompt unzipped/ .

  # export PHP_PREFIX="/usr"
  # $PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize
  # ./configure --enable-eaccelerator=shared --with-php-config=$PHP_PREFIX/bin/php-config
  # make

This will generate "eaccelerator.so" under ./unzipped/modules directory.

run

make install

This will copy eaccelerator.so under the /usr/lib/php5 directory. Im my case, it was installed under 20060613+lfs.

/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/eaccelerator.so

Then, copy unzipped/eaccelerator.ini file to /etc/php5/conf.d directory.

cp unzipped/eaccerlerator.ini /etc/php5/conf.d/eaccelorator.ini

Caution : /etc/php5/conf.d directory was available since php was configured with --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php5/conf.d option. If you don't have the directory /etc/php5/conf.d, then copy the below (the content of eaccelerator.ini) in your php.ini file.

  zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/eaccelerator.so" // You need to change this according to your seeting
  eaccelerator.shm_size="64"
  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="3600"
  eaccelerator.shm_prune_period="0"
  eaccelerator.shm_only="0"
  eaccelerator.compress="1"
  eaccelerator.compress_level="9
  eaccelerator.admin.name="yourusername"
  eaccelerator.admin.password="yourpassword"

in php.ini file, put the below line around the extension config lines.

extension=eaccelerator.so

Create cache directory under /tmp directory.

 
 mkdir /tmp/eaccelerator
 chown www(or whatever) /tmp/eaccelerator
 chmod 0700 /tmp/eaccelerator

restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Make it sure that the module (.so) was properly installed by looking at phpinfo(); with an web page. The below or similar message will appear in phpinfo(); page.

  This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
  Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
    with eAccelerator v0.9.5.3, Copyright (c) 2004-2006 eAccelerator, by eAccelerator

phpinfo()?

make a file phpinfo.php under htdocs (or html) directory (something like /var/www), then put the below lines;


  <?php
    phpinfo();
  ?>

Then, view this page with a web browser with http://localhost/phpinfo.php URL.
