XF 1.2 How to properly enable memcached and apc?

[rdn]

This is my config right now:

<?php

// Cache
$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['cacheSessions'] = true;
$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions'] = array('caching'  =>  true,
                                            'automatic_serialization' => true,
                                            'lifetime'    => 3600,
                                            'cache_id_prefix'  =>  'phcn_'
);
// MemCache
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Memcached';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array(
    'compression' => false,
    'servers' => array(
        array(
           
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'port' => 11211,
        )
    )
);
// End of Memcache
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Apc';

But I cannot see it working on my memcache admin:

I have 35 addons.
Right now I allocate 256MB
Here's mine (just enabled few minutes ago):
Thought my forum is not on peak now, as it's 1AM here

 

[MattW]

Probably get away reducing it to 128MB, but won't hurt having 256MB if you have the free memory available.

 

[rdn]

It's 8GB RAM server.
Thanks !

Request George to use Opcache instead of APC then
I think I mentioned it to him a while ago and he said Opcache is not ready to replace APC yet.

George support vb 3,4,5 and mostly support php 5.3.
So I think that's not possible for now
Hopefully soon

Did you read the notes? You also need to re-install any of the extra modules (memcache / imagemagick etc)

So I will be running Menu # 5 > #10 > #15 every time I upgrade php?

 

[DRaver]

No, this isn't recommended. Remove/disable APC, build/install the Zend OPCache extension and then restart PHP (check your config files and make sure they're all OK).

You know what is a difference between Op Cache an User Cache? The old APC has both. The new php 5.5 has only opcache. So the question is. Is it better for Xenforo to use the php5.5 opcache + a userCache?

Did anyone update to php 5.5.8 yet

Did anyone update to php 5.5.8 yet

Me just 1 hour ago

php -v

Yes. That's why I don't upgrade each release any more

 

[rdn]

Yes. That's why I don't upgrade each release any more

Last time when I was still using APC.
I upgraded Php fine without running menu #10 and #15.

 

[MattW]

I've always had to run it, as it removed the ini files from that directory.

 

[rdn]

Looks like it remove's all .ini file when you choose Zend Opcache.

yes you need to but it takes less than 3-5 mins to do .. bathroom break and it's done

yeah you can see what's going on if you have some shell/bash know how in inc/zendopcache_upgrade.inc

I think I need to set it back to 256

I'm on PHP Version 5.4.24, have both memcached and APC installed on my server, it's showing up also in phpinfo, do I need also memcached configured in config.php?

I have these values as cache defined:

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions']['cache_id_prefix'] = 'xf_';
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Apc';

Memcache is not use base on your config, you may remove APC line and include Memcache.

// Memcache
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Libmemcached';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array(
'compression' => false,
'servers' => array(
array(
'host'=>'127.0.0.1',
'port'=>'11211',
'persistent' => 'true'
))
);
// End Memcache

I have memcached installed but not Libmemcached. Do I use APC or Memcached instead?

Use Memcache on your config.php, as @MattW stated here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-properly-enable-memcached-and-apc.66734/#post-701410
