vBSEO Doesn't Detects Xcache

Hello, I was advised by Brian to install Xcache on server, in order to ease off some of the server load which was causing due to vBSEO. Now my host has successfully installed same but the the option in vBSEO CP still shows it as 'Unsupported'. What could be the issue?

It is working correct on all my instances. Make sure your xCache was compiled correctly.

Hello Mert, Thanks for the response. Could you please elaborate? I'm afraid that everything has been set up fine (and assured by my webhost too). Yet, the vBSEO continues to display it as 'unsupported'. Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

If you have SSH access please try php -v command to see if the output displays xCache , also please make sure xcache is displayed inside your phpinfo page

Hello Mert, All that I could find related to xcache on PHP info page is this:

Code:

This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
    with eAccelerator v0.9.6.1, Copyright (c) 2004-2010 eAccelerator, by eAccelerator
    with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.3.20, Copyright (c) 2002-2010, by ionCube Ltd., and
    with Zend Optimizer v3.3.9, Copyright (c) 1998-2009, by Zend Technologies
    with XCache v1.2.2, Copyright (c) 2005-2007, by mOo

Thanks.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

That does seem to indicate that it is available. It is an older version though. 1.3 has been out for a long time now.

Did they upload the web interface for you as well? The varsize/etc may simply just not be above 0 so it is effectively disabled. Try to get the full settings list from php.ini (should be at the bottom)

Hello Brian, Thanks for the response. I do not have access to it's admin interface. But I have messaged you the content which I could locate at bottom of php.ini (Since I wasn't sure if it's safe to post it here).

There's nothing private in there.

As suspected,

Code:

xcache.size  =                0M

it's set to 0.


try 64 to start. This eats ram, so if you only have a 1gb server, you should consider using less for the cache.

Code:

xcache.var_size  =            0M 
xcache.var_count =             1

try 8 for var size
and the count needs to match the number of CPU cores you have. Ie, a dual core cpu = 2.


see:
http://xcache.lighttpd.net/wiki/XcacheIni
for more info on the vars.

After adjusted, restart the webserver.

Hello Brian, My webserver has 2GB RAM now. But the load still stays around 1.0~. Will setting it to 64 be alright without stressing the server?

Yeah, 64 should be ok. Just keep an eye on it.

Hi Brian, My host has done this and I have verified it too. Still it shows up Xcache as Unsupported. I don't know what's the matter?

after the setting change, was the webservice restarted?

My website has custom PHP.INI file as well and they also made the changes to it. But when I asked about the server restart, the response was that the webserver does not needs to be restarted after making chages to custom php.ini.

I assure you, it does.....
