Installing Turck MMCache

[Rob T]

Hello,

I am running Turck MMCache on all of my cpanel servers, and so far I have seen significant improvements in php speeds. I decided I would give it a try on DA to see what results would be like.

Unfortunately, when I try to run the 'phpize' command before running ./configure, i get the following error:

/usr/local/bin/phpize: line 58: autoconf: command not found

I was initally getting a different order that I thought was caused by not having automake installed, so I have installed it via RPM.

Any ideas? I could use a little help, since I'm not all that familiar with doing compiles from source and the like (rpm's have made me lazy).

Thanks

By the way, I have a nice little shell script that I have written up that will download, compile, and install mmcache on most cpanel/rh9 machines, plus make the needed directories to run mmcache. All you have to do is manually edit php.ini and restart apache once you have run the script and voila, everything is ready to go. If anyone wants to use it let me know and i'll post it. I'd happily modify it for use with DA if someone can help me out with this phpize stuff

quick note

I did a little research, and it looks like phpize is included in the php-devel pacakges, which I have also installed. Do i need to recompile php after installing php-devel in order for phpize to work correctly?

Hello,

I searched on google, and most of what I found was people missing "automake" ... but not sure either way, I've never used phpize.

that's what I found also

Thats pretty much what I found also, but i have installed the latest automake and still no dice. Oh well, i'll keep playing with it and see if I can get it working. I'll post my progress here if/when I make any.

I am seeing a huge improvement in performance with certain types of sites using mmcache, especially nuke and forum sites, so I think it is well worth investigating how to get it working. Plus Turck includes a handy open source php encoder/decoder similar to ioncube or zend encoder, so I was thinking I would use it to encode some of my |337 php scripts
