XF 1.3 Opcache

[Hristo Avramov]

I want to use the php build opcache. What other cache can I use with it?

Currently my config is this. I guess opcache works without configuring it in the config file.

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

Opcache is for caching PHP's opcodes. The config.php cache entries are for caching data, so it's generally unrelated. If you're going to go for something in config.php, I'd probably go memcache.

@Mike , what about xcache, can I use opcache + xcache? They don't do the same thing, right?

 

[Mike]

I wouldn't recommend it personally.

Okay, after I enable memcache, will the config work well?

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions']['cache_id_prefix'] = 'bf_';
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'memcache';

You need to configure the cache backend. Please see: https://xenforo.com/help/cache/ It has details on Memcached.

Is memcache the same like memcached ?

In terms of the cache backends, "memcache" isn't valid. But when I said Memcache as a product before, I was referring to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memcached
