Using Ubuntu server 10.4, I apt-getted php-apc

Where is the apc.php file that I'm meant to copy?

Thanks!

Accourding to the packages.ubuntu.com page about php-apc the file can be found compressed here /usr/share/doc/php-apc/apc.php.gz.

If you don't want do look online you can query the list of files installed by the package managment system by using a command like dpkg -L apc.php.

find / -name apc.php* 2>/dev/null

"Find, within /, resources matching apc.php*, and discard stderr."

E.g. this may return /build/buildd/php5-5.3.2/pear-build-download/APC-3.0.19/apc.php

    I fail to see the sense to piping the output of find to grep in this instance, since find will only return names that contain the searched-for string.

    Otherwise there's "Permission denied" for files that you cannot read.

    This doesn't work for Ubuntu where apc.php comes gzipped. though find / -name 'apc.php*' would have.

  • Where permissions errors are sent to STDERR, use find / -name apc.php* 2>/dev/null

  • ...or you could always run find with sudo and there'd be no need to bother with the whole dev/null malarkey.

I came here looking for this file after installing APC on CentOS with PEAR. After tracking it down with Ben's find suggestion, I thought I'd post its path in case others end up here:

/usr/share/pear/apc.php

From the README.Debian

  1. Viewing statistics and tunning your cache

APC come with a script called apc.php. This script provides detailed information about your cache. In Debian this script is in /usr/share/doc/php-apc. Copy or symlink the file to your docrot and access it with you browser. If you install the php5-gd package you will also be present with graphics. In order to understand the information and use it to tune you cache refer to the APC documentation at: http://php.net/apc

This file was located in /usr/share/doc/php-apc

If nothing else works, you can download it directly from PECL by hand:

cd /tmp
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APCu -O - | tar xz --wildcards apcu*/apc.php
mv apcu*/apc.php apc.php
rm -r apcu*/
# mv apc.php /wherever/you/want/apc.php

  • No longer works right, they started to rename APC things to APCu

  • @ParoX yep, I patched mine by hand but it's currently crashing again, not very realiable at the moment unfortunately.

  • Thank you. On Godaddy's CentOS virtual hosts this was the only way it worked.

You may consider this as a replacement for apc.php.
