PHP APC installation failed on Ubuntu

Question

I have done this

sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev make libpcre3-dev

and then

sudo pecl install apc

But I'm getting this error:

                         ^
make: *** [apc_compile.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed

Do you have idea what can be issue? And how to solve it?

Answer 1

Why do you install PHP over the package manager and APC over PECL?

apt-get install php-apc

is much easier and you get the correct package for APC.

I have done "apt-get install php-apc" and then "sudo pecl install pac" and again the same error – Gastroenterostomy

You don't need pecl. You have installed the package over the package manager. Restart PHP / Apache and its working. – Cerebrum

With "apt-get install php-apc". – Cerebrum

Answer 2

Just an addition to the answer mentioned as correct. I got

Package 'php-apc' has no installation candidate

when tried to install with sudo apt-get install php-apc. So try sudo apt-get install php-apcu and use apcu instead of apc everywhere.
