I have installed the Zend OpCache on my linuxbox. I used the following command to install the extension:
sudo pecl install zendopcache-7.0.2
Now without modifying my php.ini file, the extension is enabled. This claim is based on the output I am getting for the php -v command. Following is the output I am getting for php -v command:
PHP 5.5.14-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1 (cli) (built: Jun 27 2014 14:11:34) Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.4-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2014, by Zend Technologies
It also seems as Zend Opcode caching is enabled by default. Can someone help me deactivating Zend Opcode caching as I need to evaluate some other Opcode cachings? In my php.ini file, I dont see any Zend Opcode caching option. In case if I want to uninstall the Zend Opcode caching completely from my vm, how can I achieve this?
Zend OPcache is integrated since 5.5 if i remember correctly. So no need to install from pecl. Create a new ini file or use the one available on your system to enable / disable opcache
opcache.enable 0
opcache.enable_cli 0
Uninstall Opcache by runnning the following command:
sudo pecl uninstall zendopcache-7.0.2
Just disable the opcache module. On a linux system with php 7 run
sudo phpdismod opcache
on older php 5 systems
sudo php5dismod opcache
