W3 Total Cache
[resolved] ¿APC or eAccelerator? (5 posts)

    Hello!

    We are moving all of our sites to a brand new VPS, in order to get more control for our WP sites.

    As we would love to use W3 Total Cache, because we really need to load our sites fast, we want to install a Opcode cache solution.

    We run suPHP on server. Is this a problem?

    My provider tells that APC is incompatible with suPHP.

    What do you recommend, leave suPHP and install eAccelerator

    OR

    deativate suPHP and install APC?

    Thank you!!

    all php opcode caches are incompatible with suphp as the process dies after you have used it, so the memory gets cleared.
    FastCGI or fpm can be used with opcode caches, but every vhost will have their own slice of memory.
    Memcached does not have this problem as it is a separate daemon running on the server, I use this on my VPS with W3TC.

    Thank you Simon,

    Just found a topic on this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-suphp-not-compatible-with-either-memcache-or-apc

    Seems memcached is a good alternative, isn't it?

    Will activate it. Hope it works fine. Thank you.

    With SuPHP using an opcode cache is not a good idea, as Simon says.

    Using memcache, works great! :-)

    Memcached is a good alternative only in some cases, it's best to test both if you can.
