[Tip] Use APC

  • Thread starter Thread starter Floris

I checked to see if APC is enabled on HostGator shared. It's not. I asked if they could enable it. NOPE. Have to upgrade to VPS or dedicated. I told them I didn't want to go to that extreme since so many HG customers are complaining about the speed. I asked them if their VPS/Dedicated was still slower than shared. He said "yes, because the shared servers are much more powerful machines than the other vps/dedicated solutions.

They told me that suPHP is used over APC for "security reasons."

I guess for now, while on HG, I'm out of luck.
 
For Debian ("lenny" 5.0.3), I followed the post here to install APC:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=354914.0

However, I encountered a problem. The default APC build failed. See http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16078

Following the information on that page, I installed apc-beta. That seems to have gone OK, and phpinfo() is now reporting APC v3.1.4.

So, a quick overview of my debian sequence:

Code: 
aptitude install php-pear
aptitude install php5-dev
aptitude install apache2-dev
pecl install apc

^ may fail. See http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16078 If it does:

Code: 
pecl install apc-beta

Add extension=apc.so to php.ini and restart Apache.
 
XCache is supported via Zend caching, eAccelerator isn't. I've just published an interim of WinCache support, and will submit it to Zend for framework inclusion later today.
 
I have suPHP and memcache installed on my VPS, will they work good together?

Memcached is supported by Zend_Cache. So, XenForo may also support it.

Yes, XenForo supports it at Framework level. However, on a single server setup, I strongly suggest and advise that APC/WinCache or other op-code cache be used.
 
This didn't work out very well for me. I think I might have a conflict with my server configuration. With APC enabled, it produced only white pages.
 
gz = gzip
t in tgz = tar (normally .tar)

Making a tarball and gzipping it is common in the unix world.

a .tgz file = a tarball that's zipped up.

tar -zxf file.tgz will extract the file.

How come then when I run this in SSH I only get a file called APC or am I running the wrong command

Code: 
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC
 
To make caching working on Beta 2 you have to also add this line to config.php:
PHP: 
$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
