PHP accelerator - Which one?

I have installed my Web-site on an OpenSuse 11.0 machine fitted with LAMP. Now, I consider installing a PHP accelerator (executable-code cache). What is the most suitable product? MMcache seems rather popular. Is it the right product for openSuse? Does anyone has experienced such a product?

You like to use XCache

zypper sa -r http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/extensions/openSUSE_11.0/server:php:extensions.repo

zypper ref

zypper in php5-xcache

that repository also has eaccelerator and APC if you like to try other alternatives.

ps: mmcache is obsolete and no longer under development, do not use it ( probably does not work now either so…)

Thank you for this valuable information.
I couldn’t reach the URL you mentioned, but in the same line I found a RPM (php5-xcache-1.2.2-2.8.i586.rpm) thanks to Software.openSUSE.org.
Mind! A more recent version is also proposed (1.2.2-18), which looks empty.
Now, I have to test it.


# zypper sa -r http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/extensions/openSUSE_11.0/server:php:extensions.repo

# zypper ref

# zypper in php5-xcache


that’s the way to install it.
