I understand caching, but I had problems, counter didn't changed even after ttl and max ttl and gc interval expired. Cache items should be forced to renew, but it didn't worked for me. Maybe I need to test it further? Will see, and I report here if I manage to have it working with xcache.

EDIT:

Still not working.

If someone knows better how to setup xcache, here's my xcache ini:

xcache.shm_scheme =        "mmap"

xcache.var_size  =            64M
xcache.var_count =             4
xcache.var_slots =            8K
; default ttl
xcache.var_ttl   =             60
xcache.var_maxttl   =          60
xcache.var_gc_interval =     60

xcache.test =                Off
; N/A for /dev/zero
xcache.readonly_protection = Off
; for *nix, xcache.mmap_path is a file path, not directory.
; Use something like "/tmp/xcache" if you want to turn on ReadonlyProtection
; 2 group of php won't share the same /tmp/xcache
; for win32, xcache.mmap_path=anonymous map name, not file path
xcache.mmap_path =    "/tmp/xcache"


; leave it blank(disabled) or "/tmp/phpcore/"
; make sure it's writable by php (without checking open_basedir)
xcache.coredump_directory =   ""

; per request settings
xcache.cacher =               On
xcache.stat   =               On
xcache.optimizer =           On

[xcache.coverager]
; per request settings
; enable coverage data collecting for xcache.coveragedump_directory and xcache_coverager_start/stop/get/clean() functions (will hurt executing p
xcache.coverager =          Off

; ini only settings
; make sure it's readable (care open_basedir) by coverage viewer script
; requires xcache.coverager=On
xcache.coveragedump_directory = ""

With these settings for xcache.ini and with this setting in config.php for vbulletin:

PHP Code:

$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_XCache'; 


my page hit counter doesn't work. When I disable datastore caching counter starts to count. What is the problem, I don't know. If anyone has an idea, please, tell me.

EDIT2: Just checked, after I disable datastore caching, counter is updated with new page hits. So counter does work, but I'm unable to set automatic flushing of counter to make changes visible. For some reason change in counter isn't propagated while caching is on. Any idea how to set it right?
