Neeraj Poudyal	Wednesday 05 April 2006 3:11:41 am Is there a way to install accelerators when you don't have root access? I'm using colocation and so far I don't think I'll have root access until we get a dedicated hosting.
Richard Tuin	Wednesday 05 April 2006 5:03:22 am PHP acceleration is a proces that is done by the PHP engine itself by using an acceleration extension for PHP. I think you should contact your hosting company if you want a PHP accelerator/optimizer installed on the webserver your site is at.

You need root access to install the accelerator - however, it's certainly possible to have an accelerator such as APC disabled by default then enabled on a virtual host, or folder basis using the apache configuration. if you have a friendly admin they may be willing to consider implimenting since it shouldn't interfere with other sites (this is what we do for our customers with ez sites), e.g... # # APC disabled by default # php_admin_value apc.enabled 0 # # APC enabled for ezpublish # <Directory /usr/local/share/ez> AllowOverride All php_admin_value apc.enabled 1 </Directory> Good luck Matthew http://carroll.org.uk
