Resolved Install and enable xcache for PHP 5.5 and 5.6

N

NickBucko

New Pleskian
I've found instructions on how to install memcached for PHP 5.5 and 5.6 on Plesk 12.5 but I need xcache installed for these versions of PHP. I haven't been able to find instructions on how to accomplish this.
 
For php versions 5.5+ we use opcache instead of xcache.
For older versions you can install it:

# yum search xcache
.........
plesk-php52-xcache.i686 : Fast, stable PHP opcode cacher
plesk-php53-xcache.i686 : Fast, stable PHP opcode cacher
plesk-php54-xcache.i686 : Fast, stable PHP opcode cacher
 
Igor -

I understand that opcache is used. However, is it possible to use xcache and if so, how do I install and enable that?
 
Well. Here is step-by-step instruction:

# yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
# yum install plesk-php56-devel
# wget https://xcache.lighttpd.net/pub/Releases/3.2.0/xcache-3.2.0.tar.gz
# tar xvfz xcache-3.2.0.tar.gz
# cd xcache-3.2.0/
# /opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/phpize
# ./configure --enable-xcache --with-php-config=/opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/php-config
# make
# make install
# echo "extension=xcache.so" > /opt/plesk/php/5.6/etc/php.d/xcache.ini
# plesk bin php_handler --reread

# /opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/php -v

im using vBulletin and I want to upgrade to 4.2.4 from 4.2.3PL 1 but it requires php 5.5+ and I use xcache on it so when I switch to PHP 5.6.31 it does not load due to it not having xcache but its installed on the server, How can I fix this.

thank you.

... point to the fact, that you missed to install the corresponding "dev" - PHP - packages. For CentOS, @IgorG already pointed out:
IgorG said:
yum install plesk-php56-devel
Click to expand...
... while on Debian/Ubuntu - based systems, this command would be for example:
Code: 
aptitude install plesk-php56-dev

will this effect my other php installs as I have a live site running and do not want to mess it up.

Certainly not, as the additional "dev" - package will not interfere with your PHP - version. But without this package, you miss necessary files, which are needed if you would like to add additional PHP - modules. ;)

that worked a treat... is it the same to add it to PHP 7.1 ?

also getting this error

Code: 
[crit] 26136#0: *1215705 connect() to unix:///var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/php-fpm.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream

you wouldn't happen to know why ?
 
Hi DC2017,

pls. try NOT to mix threads with different issues/errors/problems, as it might irritate other forum users, when they try to find questions and answers.

If you didn't already found an answer to your question after using the powerfull FORUM SEARCH ( => Search | Plesk Forum ) , pls. open a NEW thread with your issue/error/problem. ;)
