Server Upgrade: PHP5 MySQL5 eAccelerator

Posted: Fri 07/13/2007 by ramiro

What a coincidence, I just upgraded my server to PHP5 to be able to use the PHP5 SimpleXML functions for less painstaking processing of Web services data returned as XML and now I read that PHP4 is sentenced to death. After December 31st, 2007 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4 and after August, 8th, 2008 no more security updates.

You can find the official announcement on php.net. It's time to go PHP5. I took this opportunity to also install eAccelerator on Debian. This website is lightning fast now :D

i see than you use eaccelerator with your site 2 years ago (or is it still in combi with drupal6?) do you ever get error segmentation faults, which will returned as white screen? cause our site use combination of php5.1.6 and mysql5 and eaccelerator but sometimes our customers cannot login or order anything due to segfaults my only solution up until now is by restarting httpd every morning (automatically) do you have any other solution regarding my situation fyi, i use drupal5 + ubercart1 in a dedicated server

I also experienced segmentation faults. Assigning more RAM to eaccelerator could have helped but I decided to deactivate it, because I did not gain very much of it and did not want to have to restart the server regularly.
