Submitted by sandip on Wed, 05/23/2007 - 10:31

Notes on installing Alternative PHP Cache (APC):

  1. Download and istall:
    $ wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.0.14.tgz
    $ tar -xvzf APC-3.0.14.tgz
    $ cd APC-3.0.14
    $ phpize
    $ ./configure --enable-apc
    $ make
    # make install
  2. Add the below lines to the php.ini:
      extension=/path/to/apc.so
      apc.enabled=1
      apc.shm_segments=1
      apc.optimization=0
      apc.shm_size=128
      apc.ttl=7200
      apc.user_ttl=7200
      apc.num_files_hint=1024
      apc.mmap_file_mask=/tmp/apc.XXXXXX
      apc.enable_cli=1
  3. Restart apache:
    # service httpd restart
  4. Check phpinfo() to see if APC is enabled.
  5. Copy the "apc.php" admin file in the source directory to a password protected web site directory. Edit "apc.php" top line to change password to something different from default.

apc.so path

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/07/2011 - 08:37.

Did you replace "/path/to/apc.so" with the actual path to the "apc.so" lib file? Alternately, you could just use "extension=apc.so".

APC and Zend Optimizer not compatible together

Submitted by sandip on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 16:57.

APC and Zend Optimizer does not play well together. Apache crashes with segmentation fault trying to allocated huge amounts of memory.

eAccelerator and Zend Optimizer are compatible.
