Michael Maclean	Friday 19 January 2007 4:06:53 am Has anyone had any experience running eZ publish on Dreamhost? I'm in the middle of setting up a new site which will probably end up being hosted there, unless there's a decent reason not to. Any comments, or problems? eZpedia community documentation project \| http://ezpedia.org
Mark Marsiglio	Friday 19 January 2007 8:00:37 am In my experience, it is rare to find a shared hosting environment that uses a php accelerator which makes a big impact on the speed of an eZ Publish install. Dreamhost does not offer an accelerator in their php 4.4.4. install. http://php.dreamhosters.com/php4-apache/ They do seem to support compiling your own PHP that you could include this module in with instructions here: http://blog.dreamhosters.com/kbase/index.cgi?area=2538 We ran eZ on another shared host with less than stellar results, but when the site was mostly cached it worked reasonably well. http://www.thinkcreative.com Turning Ideas Into Strategic Solutions
