How To Install APC on PHP 7.2 (Ubuntu LAMP Server)

Advertisement

APC is an Important Part For WordPress Like Web Software to Speed Up. Here is How To Install, Configure APC on PHP 7.2 on Ubuntu LAMP Server. We have older guides on this website to setup APC for PHP 7.0. However, PHP 7.2 needs slight different commands (which may be difficult for an not so used to configure). Although Zend Op Cache is sufficient for many web software, APC Object Cache backend for WordPress on single-server sites perform a lot better.

Update : This guide is an update to this article for installing PHP 7.4

WordPress has a built-in object caching API which is used to store complex data objects (may be HTML structures as well). The Alternative PHP Cache (APC) and OPcache both provide opcode caching. However, Zend OPcache is like a quick fix whereas APC is the full version. After installation of APC, you may test disabling Opcache to chec difference and also both together.

Libraries have been installed in:
   /tmp/pear/temp/pear-build-rootoK2n7A/apcu-5.1.12/modules
 
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'
 
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.
 
running: make INSTALL_ROOT="/tmp/pear/temp/pear-build-rootoK2n7A/install-apcu-5.1.12" install
Installing shared extensions:     /tmp/pear/temp/pear-build-rootoK2n7A/install-apcu-5.1.12/usr/lib/php/20151012/
...
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/apcu-5.1.12
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=apcu.so" to php.ini

To start using APCu, you should run the following command for PHP 7.2:

Vim
1
echo "extension=apcu.so" | tee -a /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/apcu.ini

And the following command for PHP 7.0:

Vim
1
echo "extension=apcu.so" | tee -a /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini

Reload apache :

Vim
1
systemctl restart apache2

If you run :

Vim
1
php -i | grep apcu

You’ll get confirmed path of the settings file for CLI, like :

Vim
1
/etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-apcu.ini

Modify to the following in mods_enabled file (like /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/apcu.ini) :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
extension=apcu.so
apc.enabled=1
apc.shm_size=1024M
apc.max_file_size=10M
apc.num_files_hint=20000
apc.user_entries_hint=20000
apc.ttl=7200
apc.user_ttl=7200
apc.gc_ttl=3600
apc.include_once_override=0
apc.enable_cli=1

Save it. Open PHP.ini file which is under Apache’s path, like :

Vim
1
nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

Add a block above settings of cURL (usually opcache settings written above it) :

Vim
1
nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

Reload apache :

Vim
1
systemctl restart apache2

Tuning APC on production server not funny. APC’s one settings can make site not loading. You have to delete that settings file and restart Apache, then try finding which settings was faulty. You can slowly try this settings :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
extension=apc.so
apc.enabled = 1
apc.shm_segments = 1
apc.shm_size = 40M
apc.optimization = 0
apc.num_files_hint = 4096
apc.ttl = 7200
apc.user_ttl = 7200
apc.gc_ttl = 0
apc.cache_by_default = 1
apc.filters = ""
apc.mmap_file_mask = "/tmp/apc.XXXXXX"
apc.slam_defense = 0
apc.file_update_protection = 2
apc.enable_cli = 0
apc.max_file_size = 10M
apc.stat = 1
apc.write_lock = 1
apc.report_autofilter = 0
apc.include_once_override = 0
;apc.rfc1867 = 0
;apc.rfc1867_prefix = "upload_"
;apc.rfc1867_name = "APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS"
;apc.rfc1867_freq = 0
apc.localcache = 0
apc.localcache.size = 512
apc.coredump_unmap = 0
apc.stat_ctime = 0

You can check APC settings in system with this command :

Vim
1
php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep -i 'apc'

It is what expected :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
APCu Support => Enabled
APCu Debugging => Enabled
apc.coredump_unmap => Off => Off
apc.enable_cli => On => On
apc.enabled => On => On
...
...

Getting that APCu Support => Enabled not easy.

Go to your public directory, like /var/www/html :

Vim
1
cd /var/www/html

wget this file there :

Vim
1
