[TYPO3-dev] Typo3 and HHVM (HipHop)

[Albert van der Veen]

Hi all,

A night's sleep can do wonders :)

Turned out to be a silly rights issue: there was a session stored in 
/tmp from the pre-hiphop setup that was owned by root and couldn't be 
removed by www-data. Thereby blocking the login to the BE.

Thought it had to be a rights issue somehow, but didn't look in sys_log 
which provided the clues.

However on the frontend still no output, as the error on the database 
connection persists. This is a fairly complex site with lots of 
extensions, so probably some incompatible code gets in the way.

I did manage to get another, less complex site running and the 
benchmarks are pretty amazing on first sight:

Running ab -n 500 -c 100 http://test.nl/ on a cached typo3 page gives 
these results:

Without HipHop:		Requests per second:    30.84 [#/sec] (mean)
With HipHop:		Requests per second:    198.13 [#/sec] (mean)

Best,
Albert
