Ok so I finally did it, I upgraded to 1.0.2 but I have a few questions. (imagine that! lol) I am trying to figure out which setting is better. I am running MySQL 4 (with caching) and ALSO caching PHP with eAccelerator. I have tried it with both settings of "Cache Templates Seperately" on and off. Seems that when I turn it off, it's much faster. Could be my imagination though.

Which way should I run this?

EDIT: Sorry I originally said I did NOT run eAccelerator....I was wrong, I do

hmm hello...
its template cache system.......

maybe a dumb question..what it do/
remove query? speed up forum? saving bandwidth ?
any one can say ?
thnx

Zia: It saves one query per page, in addition, if you're using "Cache Templates Seperately" it might save a few eval() calls if you're using a PHP cache.

Thanks ORBAN for helping me in a private message. Ok, so back to my post ^^ there regarding which way should I run it?

It's impossible for me to say what's better for you. It depends on so many things, just try it out. Can also try to increase the 4500 to 10000 for example, or 2000...can you try to find out if the files in the template folder actually get picked up by your template cache?

How can one do this?

from the eAccelerator readme

Control panel and disassembler
------------------------------

If you want to use the control-panel you need to compile eAccelerator with
--with-eaccelerator-info which is the default value.
You need to copy the control.php file to your webroot and set the path to it
in the php.ini or eaccelerator.ini in the eaccelerator.allowed_admin_path
directive. If you don't do this you wont be able to see much information and
can't control eAccelerator.
You can set the username and password needed to access the control-panel in
the control.php file.

I *guess* that's the one.

Ok, I can view the ecc caching. I see that the /templates/ folder is being cached. What else did you need to know?

Both the files like 3d60b0358a7f117e7ee1c30e123ef0f3.php and 132.php? If you turn on seperate caching...

Then it doesn't really make sense that it's slower or not faster when you turn on seperate caching..mmmh.

Yep, I see files like 3d60b0358a7f117e7ee1c30e123ef0f3.php, about 10 megs of them. So, sorry to bug, but what kind's of advantages will setting it up so that it uses files like 123.php?
