I also recommend it. I tested it very thoroughly for a long while before trusting it to mark comments as spam. It had zero false-positives.

Agreed. I tested it thoroughly for ages before trusting it to block spam altogether (I first had it in a safe mode of it just marking the comments as spam, for me to check).

Great plugin.

Thanks for your help Frederick.

FYI to others. I found that my xcache.ini file was not been loaded at all, because (I expect) my php.ini file had the xcache settings in it.
I found the location of my php.ini file by checking a phpinfo.php page, looking for the line “Loaded Configuration File”.

Within it was, strangely, already a name/pass pair… most bizarre it isn’t being recognised! Maybe the md5 is wrong.

Hi Frederick, my mistake, I pasted in the lines before I had removed the comment marker. When I tested it, those three lines user/pass/auth were uncommented.

If they were uncommented in my environment (CentOS 5.4, 64-bit, Kernel version 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5, Apache version 2.2.16), does it otherwise look correct? Since I had the authentication request when I tried clearing cache, I figured there must have been something wrong in the ini file or its location.

I didn’t want to stop the authentication because I couldn’t assess the risk that c3mdigital had outlined.

One use-case for memcache is when you’re using PHP Handler of CGI, which means (to my knowledge) that xcache, for example, does not create persistent object caches, only opcode.

In this circumstance, I think it’s going to be useful even on a single server.

Thanks.
I also found in the W3TC “install” page, within WordPress, a path to a pre-written xcache.ini file for /etc/php.d/ which I hadn’t seen before. It includes the user/pass pair we’re discussing.

I’ve put that file into that directory, after uncommenting these lines, and putting my password in using its hashed form:

;xcache.admin.user = "admin"
;xcache.admin.pass	= "hash-password-here"
;xcache.admin.enable_auth = On

Restarted Apache.
However, W3TC still asks for a name/password.

I have left the first few lines as-is from the W3TC-provided ini, because I don’t understand them. I have loaded xcache directly rather than as a function of Zend.

; /etc/php.d/xcache.ini

;extension = xcache.so
zend_extension = "/usr/lib/php/modules/xcache.so"
zend_extension_ts = "/usr/lib/php/modules/xcache.so"

Any suggestions?

I found W3 Total Cache asking me for the xcache Administration password, too, but even if I entered it correctly, it was not accepted. Most odd.
It did seem related to minify and page cache too. I have not isolated it yet, though.

I’m using CGI as the PHP Handler (not DSO, not FCGI); I think this is part of the problem. I can’t clear the W3 Total Cache, because xcache administration wants me to authenticate, and when I put in the credentials, it doesn’t seem to make any difference.

I think stormondemand.com lets you use memcache. They’re a cloud provider. I have xcache going with them at the moment, and they suggested memcached and did not indicate any disallowance.

Works for me, too. Thank you.

That edit works, thank you.
I stopped using Wapple because it was creating google crawler errors (bad URLs somehow).

You could use an RSS feed from your forum, and put that feed into the sidebar of your wordpress blog.

That’s quite clever.

Thanks for the update.
I am using Wapple mobile architect instead for the time being. (It’s very good).

No worries, it was worth the wait. Brilliant plugin.

I thought I found it in the base theme header.php.
I remove
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>

then clear its cache from within the transcoder plugin directory. That didn’t work, though.
