APC vs EAccelerator vs XCache

[|Jordan|]

I went back to Xcache and I think i fixed my Xcache issues. I loaded ioncube before Xcache and now i dont have any more issues with the compiler crashing.

Xcache for us.

We refuse to use any software that uses IonCube.

We do not run encrypted PHP code on our site, code we cannot peek into or modify, as a matter of policy.

We are "open source" server and "open PHP" all the way !

If you are running vBulletin, then you are not running open source software.

Maybe not, but we can modify the code... so it is open "enough" "Open PHP" ...... Linux is open. Apache2 is open. PHP for vB is not encrypted, so that is "open source" in a manner of speaking, it is source code and it is open PHP.

Anything else Marco? Or do you want to argue semantics?

From Wikipedia:

Although the OSI definition of "open source software" is widely accepted, a small number of people and organizations use the term to refer to software where the source is available for viewing, but which may not legally be modified or redistributed. Such software is more often referred to as source-available, or as shared source, a term coined by Microsoft.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

"A small number of people" are still using it in the wrong way.

Open Source means that it may be changed and redistributed.

vBulletin is Visible Source, ie. it is not encrypted but it is copyrighted software and may not be distributed.

If you're using windows it may be worth investigating this:
