Hi Voodoomaster,

if you don't use "yum" ( as for CentOS/RHEL... -based systems ), you are able to use "apt-get" or "aptitude" instead, which leads to the first command of the process, described as example at:

http://devblog.plesk.com/2015/08/adding-custom-php-modules-in-plesk/​

=> The first command for Debian/Ubuntu... - based systems would be: apt-cache search plesk-php devel

... and instead of "yum install", the command to install packages is "apt-get install" or "aptitude install"​

You can now follow previous suggestions in this thread, as for example:

Are you sure, that you have installed apcu in the context of the desired php version?

E.g. (for php 5.6.10, untested):

1. Install the corresponding php devel-package
2. Install apcu in the context of the right php-version:

cd /opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin
./pecl config-set php_ini /opt/plesk/php/5.6/etc/php.ini
./pecl config-set php_bin /opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/
./pear config-set php_suffix ""
./pecl install --force apcu

3. Include the apcu-extension

echo "extension=apcu.so" > /opt/plesk/php/5.6/etc/php.d/apcu.ini

4. Restart Apache

service httpd restart
or
service apache2 restart

5. Configure the desired vhost to use apcu

apc.enabled = 1
...

... or:

The devel packages are not available via package manager - just tested it again in my test-vm.
So you would have to do it manually.

Example for PHP 5.6.10:

#1 - Open http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PHP_5.6.10/ in your browser and determine the full url of the devel-package for your distribution, e.g. CentOS 7:

http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PHP_5....hp56-devel-5.6.10-centos7.15061519.x86_64.rpm

#2 - Download & install

cd /tmp
wget http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PHP_5....hp56-devel-5.6.10-centos7.15061519.x86_64.rpm
yum install plesk-php56-devel-5.6.10-centos7.15061519.x86_64.rpm

Note: If you are running debian or a debian based distribution, the command would be 'dpkg -i ...'

Please make sure to use the correct "deb" - packages ( instead of "rpm" for CentOS/Rhel... - based systems ) for YOUR operating system. As already described, you would choose your operating system and the depending package for manual installation, using "dpkg", at http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PHP_5.6.10/

​

If you experience any issues/problems, please consider to post WHAT you did, WHICH commands you used, WHAT the error/issue was and WHERE you already looked at, to search for resolutions.
