Hi
I am setting up moodle 2.5.2 and want to install a php accelerator to improve performance. I just don't know how you pick one and then how you install / configure it. Any help / how to guides would be great.
I have been looking at xcache as it seems to have a version compatible with windows and 5.3.27 just don't really know how to configure it.
I am using:
Thanks
With the caveat that I know nothing about Windows...
If you can run to PHP 5.5 then you get OpCache built in and this is recommended for Moodle for 2.6 and newer.
A lot of Windows users seem to use 'wincache' although I don't have any details. I expect Google does
Ok, i'll give it a go updating to 5.5 makes sense anyway. How do you then enable opcache within php 5.5?
Thanks
Just use the settings on the Moodle opcache page in php.ini. The module is installed automatically with 5.5. I just did this a couple of days - easy upgrade and setup.
Hi Emma,
Struggling with updating the PHP. Followed the steps from the link on my previous post but i just keep getting server error 500 :S
Is there something i need to change in IIS to tell it that PHP has been updated?
Is it just a case of editing ;opcache.enable=0 to opcache.enable=1 ?
Thanks
You would change that line as you have above. I am linux user and so can't help with IIS. Sorry!
No Problem. Thanks for the help.
I have successfully updated PHP to 5.5 and enabled opcache. Now to play around configuring it.
Thanks
When trying to follow the steps in this post i am getting a 500 internal server error after i swap the PHP folders over :S can swap back and it works. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
Turn on debugging and check permissions on the new folder.
