Comments on Integrating eAccelerator Into PHP5 (Debian Etch)
Integrating eAccelerator Into PHP5 (Debian Etch) This guide explains how to integrate eAccelerator into PHP5 on a Debian Etch system. From the eAccelerator project page: "eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times."

This add-in has boosted the loading of the pages I have on my server many times over. I use mainly WordPress and Zen-Cart.
Thanks
It gives 404 error
To run the phpize command, php header files have to be installed,so type apt-get install php5-dev (replace 5 with the number You are using) and then go on.
Im using cache im ram, it speeds eA even more:
be aware: every time aptitude updates your php5 package (even minior-changes like 5.2.0-8+etch11 to 5.2.0-8+etch13), you have to rebuild & reinstall the eaccelerator to fit the new version.
Falko, this saved me after XCache started segfaulting for no apparent reason (evidently quite a few people have experienced this). I had used XCache because it was in the Debian repo and therefore quick to setup.
eAccelerator works like a charm and it is FAST. Thank you.
Installed on: Debian Lenny / ISPConfig2 / Drupal 6.19
thank you very much
These instructions are outdated.
The instructions are for Debian Etch as mentioned in the title of the article. Debian 4.0 (Alias Etch) has been released in 2007 and the instruction are still valid for Debian 4 but not for Debian 8 off course.
