Next: Ubuntu – Install Memcached with PHP-FPM and Nginx

APC stands for Alternative PHP Cache is a opcode which also known as machine code. The opcode is cached such that every time a request is sent to server, the same opcode is used until it detects a change in the PHP file.

Installation is easy and straight forward.

1. Install using apt-get.

• apt-get install php-apc

2. Restart PHP-FPM

• /etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart

3. Check your phpinfo.

 

4. You could configure APC @ /etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini.

Done =)
