Sorry folks - it's me - I'm trying to get the latest Apache, PHP 5.2.5 and the latest APC working together. It's been a bit of struggle. mod_rewrite is turned off for some reason.

I can't get the damn thing to stay up with APC loaded. It'll have to stay off for now 🙁

APC doesn't work? Don't despair, no-one's been able to get the Australian Poetry Centre to work for decades, especially when they're loaded. Or did you mean the Australian Press Council?... doesn't matter, same deal.

Hehehe

APC (http://pecl.php.net/package/APC) is an opcode cache that compiles the forum into an intermediate language. It's a bit dodgy, but when it works, the forum goes about 2.5x as fast and uses less processor time.

We are still hosted at the same place we were at - they suddenly worked out that they had a degraded SAN. Once they fixed that (which just happened to coincide within a week of my submitting a ticket on slow disk performance), our disk speed went up to normal SATA levels. Thus the forum feels snappy. I'm giving them a chance to keep these levels up.

In the meantime, I'm likely to move us to lighttpd with XCache. Lighttpd uses about 1/10th the RAM of Apache for a slightly faster performance level, leaving more RAM for MySQL to cache more of the forum's active working set, thus improving responsiveness again.

thanks,
Andrew
