XCache not playing nice

[Shamil.]

Hello,

I've installed xcache on my server, and it doesn't appear to be playing nice:

xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching

Well, here's my PHPinfo (http://theflickzone.com/phpinfo.php)

Here's my php.ini (http://vb-tfz.pastebin.com/m22ec6d6e)

That should give you enough information as to why XCache isn't playing nice.

What do you think is happening?

Its not listed in your phpinfo, so I guess php is not loading it.

[Shamil.]

I've just removed it, becuase it was causing HTTP 503s, I'll add it again.

Loaded... Funny how the PHP & Zend logos don't load when the module is loaded.

that just mean it's not compatible... you'll have to use another cache engine.

Hi, what two software/modules are incompatible?

[Dismounted]

My guess is that XCache is not compatible with ionCube's loader.

[Shamil.]

Interesting, they were working on another server together.

you are correct been there and hated it...:(

[Shamil.]

That is horrible.. but then how did I get this to work on another server?

i ended up using eAccelerator which works well.To find out more about xcache go to vb.com under server configs they may can help you more over there.

IONCube and XCache will play together.

Your Var Cache needs to be be enabled and set to something 4mb at first. It can be reduced after you've got an idea of what will be used.

Here's what in my PHP.ini when:



xcache.var_size = 128M
xcache.var_count = 2
xcache.var_slots = 16K
xcache.var_ttl = 10
xcache.var_maxttl = 10
xcache.var_gc_interval = 300Remember, I have commented the XCache module in the module loading section, since it is a production server and the HTTP 503 errors aren't helping any sites.

eAcc hasn't performed too well, the second one to perform was APC, but XCache was by far the best.

my solaris box current running xcache1.22 config, may see the print-screen chop pic below.
and don't know tuned it or not for xcache.var_size = 3M .
should I increase its value?

addon:
initial swap space decrease from 1200M to about 450M after starting xcache with this values.
But about 1-2 seconds earn in vb response time and not hang at all.

Try increasing the memory limit in php.ini. The link to your phpinfo states that it is 32M. Increase it to something much larger at first, like 400M or 800M if your server has the RAM available. Also, reduce your xcache counts to 1, for both the primary and var cache. Make your var cache size 4M.

Restart your webserver and see what happens. 503 errors are common with temporary overload of server resources. Something is getting in the way.

Some VPS technologies don't play well with XCache, due to the way they share memory. If you continue to have problems, I'd open a ticket with vbulletin and contact your host.

Try APC

APC works, and now the VPS has crapped up --> cPanel's gone AWOL and it's wiped all of my sites... luckily, I have today's backups.
