Installing the APC (Alternative PHP Cache) using the php-apc package is straightforward:
# sudo aptitude install php-apc # sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart |
Using the package php-apc installs APC 3.1.3p1. If you would like to use the most recent version 3.1.4 you can manually set up the PECL package as follows:
- Install the required packages:
# sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev apache2-threaded-dev
- Install APC:
# sudo pecl install apc-3.1.4
- Create file /etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini with the following content:
extension=apc.so
- Restart Apache2:
# sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
After restarting the Apache2 web server a APC section should be included in the phpinfo() output.
Thank you!
It is too simple !
If the APC installation gives an error:
apt-get install libpcre3-dev
