I use this in a single server environment.

Why did you replace xCache?
MattW
Well-known member
Because I'm running PHP 5.5 and ZendOpcache works really well. I've not ran Xcache since moving to 5.5.

Well = faster? Have you tried to compare?

Main reason I replaced it was the OPCode cache is now a built in option for PHP... memcached because I have 5 VPS's that it's distributed across.
Moshe1010

On that matter xCache is superior (if we compare only the two) because it's also a variable cache.

Nothing special
PHP:

$config['cache']['frontendOptions']['cache_id_prefix'] = 'mattw_';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions']['automatic_serialization'] = true;
$config['cache']['cacheSessions'] = true;
$config['cache']['backend']='Libmemcached';
$config['cache']['backendOptions']=array(
'compression'=>false,
'servers' => array(
array(

Because 2000 is the default value, and I'm not caching more than that on the server. I'll increase it if needed at a later date.

Are you using any particular UI for Zend_Opcache/Memcached?

When I enable it, it says in the UI for Zend OPcache (by Carlos Buenosvinos):
opcache.validate_timestamps - true:
"If you are in a production environment you should disabled it"

Ignore him. If disabled, modified code will never be cached.

I would not recommend having opcache.fast_shutdown = On until some issues in the Zend Opcache are fixed. I have noticed that when this setting is enabled on an SSL server with SPDY enabled and PHP is running as a FastCGI process, PHP will randomly (must be a race condition) perform the fast-shutdown before the browser has finished downloading all the response data and drop the FCGI connection between PHP and the web server. This results in the client not receiving all the packets in the response and the browser displays a partially rendered page. The SPDY connection reports as failed, and many browsers will disable SPDY support for all future connections to the site until the browser is restarted.
It took me 2 weeks of staring at logs wondering why the heck this was happening until I randomly decided to toggle the opcache settings one by one.

strange never experienced that before myself - using CentOS 6.5 64bit with source compiled Nginx 1.7.4 SPDY/3.1 SSL + ngx_pagespeed with source compiled PHP-FPM 5.5.16 Zend Opcache 7.04-dev and fast shutdown enabled https://community.centminmod.com/

Could you paste some relevant log lines? so I know what to look for in the logs
