I have already googled and tried all the existing guides but unfortunately none seem to work.

So i kindly ask for help on how to install APC/APCu extension for PHP 7.4.x with Ubuntu 20.4.1 LTS on Plesk Obsidian v18.0.29_build1800200731.19

I would like to thank in advance anyone who wants or can help me now.

Hello,

The instruction from KB article should help. In short: apt install plesk-php74-dev build-essential, then /opt/plesk/php7.4/bin/pecl install apcu, then configure ini for it. Please note, that APC pecl extension probably will not compile for PHP 7.4.

May not for Ubuntu but for CentOS-Users interesting:

For example php.7.4:

Install Plesk PHP 7.4 development package:

yum install plesk-php74-devel zlib-devel gcc

Install APCu module:

/opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/pecl install apcu

Enable APCu in PHP configuration:

echo "extension=apcu.so" > /opt/plesk/php/7.4/etc/php.d/apcu.ini

Restart PHP service and refresh PHP handlers information:

service plesk-php74-fpm restart

plesk bin php_handler --reread

Verify that the module is loaded and is working:

/opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php -i | grep apc.enabled 21:35:18][root@server:~]$/opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php -i | grep apc.enabled apc.enabled => On => On

I installed different packages, but still get this error.
Any idea what the problem could be? Used this tutorial APCu-Extension für Plesk PHP 8

What is the output of commands

# which sed
# ls -la /usr/bin/sed

?

@bendim what is your OS? Try to reinstall sed package with yum or apt depending on your OS, or just try to create symlink /usr/bin/sed

I symlink SED. Here is how and hope it helps other.

ln /bin/sed /usr/bin/sed

I symlink SED. Here is how and hope it helps other.

ln /bin/sed /usr/bin/sed

That's a hardlink. It requires link and target to be in the same filesystem and does not need the target to resolve afterwards. This could lead to problems later e.g. if there is an update of /bin/sed, as removing /bin/sed will not affect /usr/bin/sed, which will still be the old version.
To symlink:

ln -s /bin/sed /usr/bin/sed

or, as I prefer (verbose and prompt before overwrite),

ln -svi /bin/sed /usr/bin/sed
