Hello @katmai,

The APCu PECL module requires PHP version 7 or higher. This is documented under the Dependencies section at:

PECL :: Package :: APCu

Thank you.

 

[katmai]

is there a way to install the last version that supported php 5.6 by any chance?

 

[cPanelMichael]

Hello @katmai,

You could install the last APCu 4.x PECL release for PHP 5.6 using the command below:

/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/pecl install https://pecl.php.net/get/apcu-4.0.11.tgz

Keep in mind this is unsupported and not recommended due to the use of an outdated software package.

Thank you.
