This blog post should guard other admins from searching for hours about following error message:

I got it when I tried to install Piwik. I tried everything including setting setting open_basedir to /. It stopped working if I activated the basedir protection and started working if I removed it. After hours searching I found it. I looked into the wrong direction – the problem was not php but eAccelerator. After I found that out it was easy to get to the solution, you need to compile it with the option --without-eaccelerator-use-inode
, e.g.this way:
VERSION=0.9.6.1
URL=http://bart.eaccelerator.net/source/$VERSION/eaccelerator-$VERSION.tar.bz2
cd /tmp/
rm -rf eaccelerator-$VERSION
wget $URL
tar xvjf eaccelerator-$VERSION.tar.bz2
cd eaccelerator-$VERSION
phpize
./configure --enable-eaccelerator=shared --without-eaccelerator-use-inode
make
make install
