Ilija Studen:
It will be default caching mechanism for systems where APC is installed when activeCollab 3 gets launched.


I will prefer to wait for ActiveCollab 3 in this case. We use APC by default everywhere. Its sensible choice as in future APC will be PHP's default caching mechanism.

Off-topic - Good to see something revealed here about upcoming release! ;-)

1. Cache backend that we provide here is APC only. It does not work with other tools.

2. Configuration of APC, or any other PHP or Apache extension, is not something that we offer as a service, sorry. We draw a clear line between what system administration of platform is and what's activeCollab administration. If APC is configured and running on server, we can set up activeCollab's APC cache backend, but configuration of APC itself is not something that we do, sorry.

1) Turns out we had Zend optimizer installed but not the latest version - would the zend community edition server do the same thing as APC or should we stick with APC?

2) Can we hire you separately (not an upgrade), once we have updated to PHP 5.3 to then install the APC DLL?

1. You should always go with latest stable version of PHP and latest stable version of APC. PHP 5.2 is now at version 5.2.17 and it is no longer maintained nor development, so it is possible that latest versions of APC doesn't work well with it. Give PHP 5.3 a shot :)

2. We can upgrade your activeCollab, and see to configure APC caching backend, but installation and configuration of APC itself is not something that we offer as part of Professional Installation / Upgrade Service, sorry.

1) which version of the AP dLL do I needed for a windows server (running Apache for AC) from this page: http://downloads.php.net/pierre/

I tried php_apc-3.1.5-5.2-vc6-x86.zip -- but recived an almost blank page that said memory erro when I ran phpinfo to see if the AP was installed.

2) Can I use one of my install credit to have you upgrade my AC version to the latest and install/configure the APC cache too? :)

Open /activecollab/defaults.php, and replace this line:

define('CACHE_BACKEND', 'FileCacheBackend');


with:

if(!defined('CACHE_BACKEND')) {
  define('CACHE_BACKEND', 'FileCacheBackend');
}


That should resolve the warning that you are getting.

Constant CACHE_BACKEND already defined in /home/admin/domains/xxxxxxx/public_html/projects/activecollab/defaults.php on line XXX

Not sure what it was that updated that broke it... but something is up.

Running MAMP, APC is not enabled initially - it needs to be enabled. In the MAMP Pro app, go to Server ยป PHP and choose APC in the Cache dropdown. Make sure you deselect Zend Optimizer - apparently it's incompatible with APC. Restart Apache (I actually had to restart Apache then restart the entire server), then you should be good to go.

If you don't see APC on phpinfo() page, than you don't have it installed. Please, recheck your installation instructions and make sure that you have APC configured and loaded in order to use APC cache backend. Without APC, that cache backend will completely break the system (it will try to use functions that are not available, which results in Fatal Error).
