Comment on eAccelerator vs APC on PHP 5.2.9 by bostjan

@Lumega:
My first respnse was:
“It does seem so, I’ve just done a test install of PHP 5.3.1 and EAccelerator does not compile against it. APC does.”

But then I checked EAC site and found 0.9.6 release, which works perfectly with PHP 5.3.1. And it was released not even a month ago, so I can not agree that it is dying. Maybe very slowly:)

Hi, Eran
somaxconn by default is too small
if you have Linux you should encrease:
somaxconn (try 4000 or more), tw_buckets and backlog in /etc/sysctl.conf (don’t forget to do #sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf )
nofile and nproc in /etc/security/limits.conf for user which start nginx (read about ulimit)
in nginx config you may try use:
listen 80 default backlog=4000(or more) sndbuf=32k rcvbuf=8k deferred;

for freebsd do netstat -Lan, check queue to port 80 and change same parameters

I see that nginx has problems with spawn-cgi or php-fpm, it is not stable / reliable solution – 502 error.

So, is there a solution to it?

——————–

Can I run apache with MaxClients set to small number and solve the memory issue of apache?

After reading for hourssss in forums , I can’t decide what to use, apache or nginx ?

It is for a drupal + vps .

Thanks

I’ve just completed a set of preliminary benchmarking test with Magento and Wordpress.

Magento has proved itself as incapable of performing steadily under high loads. I believe it is some sort of file-cache locking issue because with concurrency=1 it’s performance was flawless.

Wordpress results are on par with results of “Custom application frontpage” benchmark from this article, only scaled down with a factor of around 0.25 (75% the performance of “Custom application frontpage”). Will publish complete results soon.

Yes, I am thinking about that, but a standard dataset (database content) must also be available so that test becomes realy repeatable. I found that Magento has such a starting dataset.

Can someone recommend anything else? Thanks.

It would be interesting to test typical PHP application, like Wordpress for example.

Aco (about Xcache): I was only interested in comparing eAccelerator and APC. eAccelerator because it has been stable and high-performing for me since the days of TurckMM cache. APC for its entanglement in the PHP development process itself (it is part of PECL and Rasmus Lerdorf and Ilia Alshanetsky are its maintainers).
