Which php.ini should I use?

[xml]

After upgrade from EasyApache3 to EasyApache4

1. I have 2 php.ini files:
/usr/local/lib/php.ini
/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.ini

Which of the 2 php.ini files I should do my editings to enable or disable extensions?

2. after I install APCu what value should I use for extension_dir?
my current is:
extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226"
and its not working

You would use /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.ini

but you shouldn't modify this directly as changes will be lost, you would want to make the changes in Home >> Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor

You may want to read over PHP Home - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation as well

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226"

APCu is not supported in anything higher than PHP 5.4 as far as I'm aware.

Hi,

after I install APCu what value should I use for extension_dir?

Try the below command that will install the mentioned package for your for respective PHP version and also enable it..
/opt/cpanel/ea-php55/root/usr/bin/pecl install apcu
/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/pecl install apcu
/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/pecl install apcu
/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/bin/pecl install apcu

I need to know if APCu supported in EasyApache 4?

 

[cPanelLauren]

Hello,

APC is a pecl module and is able to be installed through the module installer interface, this indicates that it is supported.

Thank you,

after many trials I found out apcu_bc works for easyapache 4 not apcu

my question now where to find runtime settings for apcu_bc to make changes?

 

[cPanelLauren]

Hello,

APCu should work though apcu_bc is the backwards compatibility module - from their page here: krakjoe/apcu-bc:

There is no appreciable difference; This layer calls the same internal (to apc) functions that APCu does, but just accepts the old parameters, the only meaningful difference is prototypes and names of functions.

Configuring APCu should be the same the runtime configuration information can be found here: PHP: Runtime Configuration - Manual

 

[xml]

runtime settings for apcu_bc in phpinfo.php doesnt reflect values in php.ini file. is there a differnet location rather than php.ini to modify those runtime settings?

I tried in
/usr/local/lib/php.ini
/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.ini
but no luck

 

[xml]

Ok I forget to do service httpd restart thats why

Thank you all for your replies apcu_bc is working now

Hi,

I'm glad to hear that!

 

[xml]

I have APCu Version 5.1.12 installed in my server. How to upgrade to APCu Version 5.1.16?

 

[cPanelLauren]

You should be able to get APCu v5.1.16 by going to WHM>>Software>>Module Installers -> PHP Pecl and installing it for the version of PHP you're wanting to run it on.

 

[xml]

That worked perfectly. Thank you
