installing APC(Alternative PHP Cache) in ubuntu server


pranaam to all bhai ji _/\_

Today i am going to post about Alternative PHP Cache aka APC installation on ubuntu which helps in opcode cacher for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code.It's similar to other PHP opcode cachers, such as eAccelerator and XCache.

so steps are following to install APC on your debian system(ubuntu)
switch to root user using command sudo bash or su root
run  follwoing command
apt-get install php-pear php5-dev apache2-prefork-dev build-essential php5-dev

now install apc using pecl
command is
pecl install apc

if you get an error like "make : command not found"
install make using command
apt-get install make

ok again run command (if make was not installed on your system)
pecl install apc

if you get an error having message "/usr/include/php5/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:29:18: error: pcre.h: No such file or directory"
its due to absens of ibpcre3-dev package , install it by executing command

apt-get install libpcre3-dev

ok now, after installing ibpcre3-dev package install apc
command is
 pecl install apc

 after that we need to activate the apc by creating its config file
 enter into directory /etc/php5/conf.d/ using command
 cd /etc/php5/conf.d/

 create a file having name apc.ini, command is
 nano apc.ini
 and atleast add folowwing lines to that file

extension=apc.so
apc.enabled=1
apc.shm_size=92
apc.ttl=0

here apc.enabled=1 shows that apc is enabled , and if you change value of apc.enabled from 1 to 0, apc will get disabled
apc.shm_size=92  is the parameter which decide how much memory has to be allocate to apc , in my case i have assigned 92 MB of space to APC
you can assign according to your need and RAM available on server :)
apc.ttl=0 means , when your APC cache will be full, it will flush data automatically to cach new data
you can set it to some other value to but not too much high
i am using apc.ttl=100 so apc clear some part of cache when new request is made,apc chache is full and that data is not present in apc cache
for information regarding other apc parameters have a look at this document
http://de2.php.net/manual/en/ref.apc.php

ok save the file (press ctrl+o press enter to write the content to file and then ctrl+x to exit the editor)

copy the apc panel file to place from where you want to monitor it
i am copying apc file (located in /usr/share/php/apc.php ) to /var/www folder
cp /usr/share/php/apc.php /var/www/ica.php

and now i can access apc panel file by accessing my server IP/ica.php
means
https://server_ip/ica.php

cool \m/
now set a username and password for accessing apc panel
open file /var/www/ica.php in text editor
and change the default password


restart apache server , command is
service apache2 restart

and wot wot >:D<
now your server is loaded with apc cache 8-)
Thank you
