Problem with apc

[_Ziggy_]

In oktober 2009 I installed apc on my server: http://www.bluesforum.nl/apc.php

I need to install Zend optimizer on the server, but I am having problems with that. There is an error which seems to be caused by apc.

This is the error:


# php -m

Line 1117 is allmost at the end of php.ini =
"extension=apc.so"

(The "" are included in the php.ini as well. I have tried removing them, but then it returns "Fatal error").

I have included my php.ini as an attachment. I hope someone can help me with this.

Try updating APC. There has been a lot of work done since your last update.

Also, try moving the apc extension line up to be with the other standard extensions.

Thanks for your answer!

I have tried updating APC, but it fails. I have included a Notepad file with the Putty output.

Where should I insert the apc extention line?
Before which line should it be inserted?


(To be honest, I have no idea what I am doing  ).

I'm not sure which OS you are hosted on or the specifics but on my OS;
php makes a folder in /usr/local/etc
you want to look for extensions.ini in  /usr/local/etc/php/
the path would be, for me at least /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini
this file is where all your extensions should be. If you have that file, than remove the line from your php.ini file and enter it into the extensions.ini file

You need to install the PCRE headers.For RPM-based distributions, this package is likely "libpcre-devel".

/usr/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:29:18: error: pcre.h: No such file or directory

Where should I insert the apc extention line?

I don't know how PHP is configured on the system, so I cannot give much help here. If you're using a single-file php.ini, there will be a block mid-way in the file with several extensions shown being loaded. You can put the line there.

I have tried this but it didn't work out:

# yum install pcre
Setting up Install Process
Package pcre-6.6-6.el5_6.1.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

# yum install libpcre-devel
Setting up Install Process
No package libpcre-devel available.
Nothing to do

I don't think there is an extensions.ini file. I can't find it.
If there was one, it should show up in php.info where it says "additional .ini files parsed"?

I don't think there is an extensions.ini file. I can't find it.
If there was one, it should show up in hxxp:php.info [nonactive] where it says "additional .ini files parsed"?

yes I believe that is correct. If you don't have one, than you have the all in one php.ini file and follow what the other poster suggested.

Try "pcre-devel". Sorry, I don't have an RHEL/CentOS machine to check the exact name.

On RHEL and similar distributions, extensions are defined in /etc/php.d. That's probably why you don't see an "extensions" section. You could make an "apc.ini" file in /etc/php.d" with the extension lines. Check the other files in there for the syntax.

Honestly, if you're not quite sure of what you're doing, you shouldn't try manually installing APC. Use the version in EPEL or the REMI repository if you're using the distro-provided PHP. (Note: The REMI repository replaces a lot of core web packages. You might not want to use it if you're not comfortable with managing a server.)
