Request for instruction on correctly installing APC on Plesk 12

[Peter12]

Hi,

I would like to install APCu (Alternative PHP Cache) & ZendOptimizer on plesk v12, I just wanted to know
if there is any instructions for installing it correctly in a manner that will not
cause issues with plesk updates.

Would appreciate some feedback


Pete..

No issues so far.

Install php ( I complied to http://kb.odin.com/en/118378 ) but I chose a different config for configure (php 5.6.1): https://gist.github.com/Stayallive/dbb91ffa6f0fc6ca6ac3 (you might want to add --enable-fpm at the end of configure in case you want to use php-fpm)
Install APCu (its really straightforward compiling it)

create your own custom-php.ini including paths to apcu.so and opcache.so

Many thanks Martin,

I'll give it a try

Peter.

Many thanks once again Martin,

I'll give it a try

Peter.
P.S Any install notes on ZendOptimizer? and if so should I install it first?

ZendOp is included in php starting with php 5.5.x - you just enable it in configure.
