Installing APC for Concrete5
Permalink
Hi there,
Hoping someone can help out a newbie here... I've read some of the other forum posts about installing APC for PHP to improve the performance of C5, so I'd like to do the same thing.
I successfully installed C5 using Ubuntu Server 8 + LAMP install. But now I'm trying to add APC for PHP and not having any luck. Here are the steps I tried, and where it blew up. I tried following the steps used in other posts but no luck yet.
1) Download the required packages
aptitude install php-pear
aptitude install php5-dev
aptitude install apache2-dev
2) Install and configure APC
pecl install apc
That command fails. I get the following:
54 source files, building
running phpize
Cannot find config.m4
Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module
ERROR: 'phpize' failed
I do have a config.m4 file in the /usr/local/src/APC-3.0.19 directory, which is where I'm trying to run pecl install apc
Now, if I manually run /usr/bin/phpize, I get a little bit farther:
/usr/local/src/APC-3.0.19# /usr/bin/phpize
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20041225
Zend Module Api No: 20060613
Zend Extension Api No: 220060519
At that point I continued on with the remaining steps, no errors:
3) echo "extension=apc.so" > /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/apc.ini
4) edit /var/www/config/site.php to add
define('CACHE_LIBRARY', 'apc');
?>
5) /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
When I restart Apache or the server, the main page crash & burns with a number of messages pointing to a failed/incorrect install of APC. I had to remove the entry in site.php and restart to get the webpage back up.
I suspect I'm trying to run pecl install apc in the wrong path, but I'm not having luck running it elsewhere.
Ideas? Thanks in advance!

The frustrating part of this was I tried a new installation of Concrete 5, but this time running off of Ubuntu Server 10, not 8, and installing APC really was all of one line:
After lots more hunting and testing, finally got APC installed with Ubuntu 8. Here's what I did. Hope this helps someone in the future. What a pain compared to Ubuntu 10!
I'm sure the code below will be painfully obvious to most but again I'm a newbie here. :-)
(if the above fails with being unable to download some of the required pacakges, you may need to run the following and try again:)
Again, I couldn't get
to work for me, and it sounds like others have had similar problems. So I did the following instead:
Add the following line to the end of php.ini:
Save, then:
and add the following line at the end of the file:
Save, then restart Apache or reboot. Then go tohttp://server/testingphp.php and look for a section on APC that says 'enabled'. (Assumes you have a file /var/www/testingphp.php with the following:)
And hopefully you'll see a speed boost in Concrete5.

sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev apache2-threaded-dev build-essential
(if the above fails with being unable to download some of the required pacakges, you may need to run the following and try again:)
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
Again, I couldn't get
sudo pecl install apc
cd /usr/local/src wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.1.9.tgz tar -xzvf APC-3.1.9.tgz cd APC-3.1.9 phpize ./configure --enable-apc --enable-apc-mmap --with-apxs --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config make make test make install cd /etc/php5/cli nano php.ini
Add the following line to the end of php.ini:
apc.soSave, then:
echo "extension=apc.so" > /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/apc.ini /etc/init.d/apache2 restart nano /var/www/config/site.php
define('CACHE_LIBRARY', 'apc');
Save, then restart Apache or reboot. Then go tohttp://server/testingphp.php and look for a section on APC that says 'enabled'. (Assumes you have a file /var/www/testingphp.php with the following:)
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
And hopefully you'll see a speed boost in Concrete5.
The neat file called apc.php comes with your APC install. Move that file into your webspace and then hit it with your browser. Cool APC GUI. See attachment :)
Hi all,
nice to read I´m not alone with apc troubles... :)
I found a link on installing apc on ubuntu 8.04 here:
http://www.phpmonkeys.de/2010/01/19/apc-unter-ubuntu-installieren/...
but it is in german. But as bash speaks a universal language, it may help you ;)
I´ve posted a thread few days ago about apc and multiple sites. For exactly ONE c5-Site apc rocks! Problems come when you have multiple c5 sites on one virtual server, if they use one C5-core or not.
Do you have a hint on this?
Regards,
Stefan

Heres a how-to for using only one c5 core:

What problems did you get? Full APC cache?
