If you're looking out for an accelerator then it means that you have a
custom server. Then I suggest, you use mod_fcgid with php-fcgi.
mod_fcgid uses the fastcgi protocol and also it serves the caching
part (that's the biggest difference between mod_fcgid and
mod_fastcgi).

I am partial to eAccelerator for *nixes. And wincache for Windows.


eAccelerator works fine for me ... on linux and windows ...


I don't recall that eAccelerator works with PHP FastCGI in a windows 
environment -- the recommended configuration for PHP in a Windows 
environment.

That may be what people are trying to ram down our throuts! But I have had 
eaccelerator running on PHP5.x for many years without any problem and I do not 
intend changing that configuration for anybody. I have a matching setup on my 
linux servers as my windows servers and will maintain that even if it does mean 
ditching PHP5.3 in production ;)

I use FastCGI and the NTS version of PHP in Windows because that is the 
configuration recommended by PHP on their website. After experiencing 
the instability of PHP as relates to the module version in Windows 
(using eAccelerator at the time), I switched to FastCGI NTS as 
recommended and then had to hunt down an appropriate accelerator. 
Wincache was in beta at the time and worked very well. As such it is my 
recommended accelerator for Windows since it works with PHP FastCGI and 
works well.

Rob.

Well I have no problem with my own configuration being unstable - in some 5 
years of use. So that would appear to suggest you are using something that has a 
problem which I am not. I also have only ever used TS version again without any 
stability problems.


Part of the problem here is people saying It does not work but not actually 
helping to identify WHAT does not work :(

I just realized btw... I haven't mentioned that the recommendation is 
for IIS in Windows... bleh. I don't think the problem exists when using 
Apache under windows. We were forced to use IIS in this particular case 
due to Government department policy.

You have my sympathies ;)

We established early on that IIS was unsuitable for the type of sites were run 
and have never had any problem convincing customers of the facts. MANY of them 
have now moved the web servers to Linux simply to remove windows from the 
equation, and THEY were insisting that Windows servers were not negotiable 5 
years ago! How times change

It's odd sometimes how a lot of public sectors seem to shy away from
open source software for one reason or another. I've heard people say
they don't trust free software as there's nobody to call when something
goes wrong (by someone arguing the merits of MS Office over OpenOffice,
because MS have never done anything that locked people out of their own
protected documents before
http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/07/31/office_for_mac_service_pack_woes/ )

I've even heard people say Firefox wasn't trustworthy software, and was
essentially a trojan (this from a school ICT technician) for malware.

I'm not sure who's feeding this disinformation to the public sector, but
I could take a few guesses...

Yeah Yeah, I know some such samplepieces. Such people are usually
found in very rich households, at least in my country (India).
Recently my friend's dad's computer was infected with virus it seems,
and he was using QuickHeal antivirus which is worst !
And he says, he doesn't trust free products when I suggested use of
Avast one of the best !
That was big OMG for me !!
