PHP5 Cache/Accelerator

Hello,

I'm searching for an accelerator for PHP5. I tried to use MMcache with
PHP 5.0.1 before but this configuration crashes apache frequently. The
error log reports segmentation faults and states different php scripts
as sources. So I had to downgrade to 4.3.8 today because we have high
load on our servers and need the chaching.

My research for PHP5 accelerators was without any result apart from the
Zend Performace Suite, which is PHP5 compatible but way to expensive.

Does anyone know an affordable and working solution for PHP5? Or at
least something promising in development?

Thanks,

Jan Harder

Why don't you just report your problems with MMCache to its developers
providing as many information as possible to help them debugging it?

Believe me I would do that if there was any hope that this project will
be continued. But the initiator and main programmer left the project for
a job at Zend. There were only a few changes to the sources after he
left. The last change to the files in the CVS was in may. I haven't seen
any official activity since that date and nobody answers to questions
about the further development. So I think it is quite save to say that
this project is discontinued.

And thats why I look for another solution. ;)

No, the project was handed over to another developer: Endre Hoesh <hoesh
at dorsum.hu> .

From what I could gather from the forums, there is some activity but it
is slow. A new domain mmache.org was registered but it seems the new
main developer is too busy. It was suggested that money contributions
could help. Maybe you should contact the new developer yourself.

There is also APC 2, but it seems that PHP 5 is only on the wishlist.
You may still want to post in the pecl mailing list about it.
