eAccelerator

I know I have this installed on the server because it shows in the php info. However when in the cache option, it said Unsupported

Is there any reason to that?

Thanks.

Hello,

eAcceleator must be compiled with data caching option support (--with-eaccelerator-shared-memory):
CompileConfiguration - eAccelerator: PHP Accelerator, optimizer, dynamic content cache - Trac

--with-eaccelerator-shared-memory

Include eaccelerator shared memory functions. The name is a bit confusing, but this will include the eaccelerator_get, _put, ... functions that allow scripts to store data in the eAccelelerator cache. This options has been enabled by default until version 0.9.5. When enabling this feature on systems where you can't trust all users, like in shared hosting environments, this could really fill up the cache causing all scripts to only exist on disk which isn't good for performance.

Hmmm...doesn`t sound really good. Nevertheless recommendable? (i have my own server)

If that's your server, your control all scripts running on it. For instance, vBSEO currently uses a small amount of memory for data caching (when corresponding option is enabled in vbseocp).

This only refers to a DoS attack
