How To Install Alternative PHP Cache (APC) on Ubuntu 14.04

Posted on June 14, 2014

Can some one help me out with installing Alternative PHP Cache (APC) on Ubuntu 14.04 and configure with wordpress.

I did find a tutorial here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-alternative-php-cache-apc-on-a-cloud-server-running-ubuntu-12-04

But it talks about APC on ubuntu 12, does the same steps apply for Ubuntu 14?

APC is no longer needed in Ubuntu 14.04. It doesn’t support PHP 5.5 which comes with its own built-in Opcache cache instead. To ensure that it is enabled, edit <code>/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini</code> and change: <pre> ;opcache.enable=0 </pre> to <pre> opcache.enable=1 </pre> Next, make sure the php mod is enabled: <pre> php5enmod opcache </pre> Finally restart Apache: <pre> service apache2 restart </pre>

Check out this previous question for some more configuration options:

Just in Reply to ASB, W3 Total cache doesn’t support Zend’s Opcache - and isn’t planning on doing so according to the author of the plugin (for some strange reason?)… So, even though APC isn’t going to be supported by PHP-5 into the future (it works fine now), it is currently the only working option other than installing memcache.
