Installing APC via WHM Module Installer

[heusdens]

Hi

I recently installed APC via the Module Install under manage PHP Pecl.

After installing with no issues I call up my php info file on my webserver and note the following:

APC Support	enabled

apc.use_request_time	On	On
apc.user_entries_hint	4096	4096
apc.user_ttl	0	0
apc.write_lock	On	On

I also managed to locate acp.php and copy it to my home directory and call up it up on the browser. I'm using to cache wordpress and drupal.

So I have 2 questions:
1) In the actual php.ini file I don't find the above info in it. I assume APC has it's own .ini file, if so where exactly do I find that .ini file and is it better to change the parameters on there or must I rather put that info in the php.ini file?

2) APC is running but when I call up apc.php I see the following:

User Cache and System Entries are empty?

Wordpress doesn't complain about APC but it doesn't look like it is doing any caching?

Hello

You can add your custom APC values directly to the /usr/local/lib/php.ini file. Also, could you let us know which PHP handler you are using?

Thank you.

Hi

I am using Fcgi. Is there anything I need to be aware of ito the php handler?

Thank you

 

[cPanelMichael]

You can find FCGI considerations at:

cPanel - FCGI Considerations

Thank you.

Michael,

If Fcgi is so difficult to configure , why does easy apache does not do it automaticly?

I'm running under suPhp, but how can I install APC if I don't change to fcgi ?

FCGI is not difficult to enable, but rather it often requires fine tuning of it's configuration based on your individual server usage. suPHP doesn't work with OPCode caching.

Thank you.
