Disable eAccelerator for one domain

I had an issue where I had to disable eAccelerator for a single domain on my VPS.

I've seen instructions that say to put following lines .htaccess file in the site's root directory,

php_flag eaccelerator.enable 0
php_flag eaccelerator.optimizer 0


but when I did that trying to access any pages on that site resulted in a 500 error.

I found that the only way to make this work is to locate the VirtualHost section for the domain in question in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Within that VirtualHost section, there should be a section that looks similar to this:



php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/site-name/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp"



Add the following lines to this section, before the ""


php_flag eaccelerator.enable 0
php_flag eaccelerator.optimizer 0

Any suggestions or questions are welcome.
