WSOD traced to eAccelerator

This might not interest many readers, but I like to share solutions to nagging problems in open source software that I use…

I finally traced an error-less white screen of death (WSOD) problem on the Teaching and Learning Excellence website I’ve been working on to a php accellerator — eAccelerator. Disabling it in the htaccess file did the trick. Here’s what to add:

  php_flag eaccelerator.enable              0
  php_flag eaccelerator.optimizer           0

I hope my hours of troubleshooting might save someone else some time.
