How to Enable OPCache in Xampp

By cakka on 26 Nov 2015 at 11:17 UTC

In Drupal 8, it will be better if we can enable OPCache.

How to enable OPCache in my localhost ?

I am using xampp v3.2.1 & windows 7.

Thank you.

As I did.

With XAMPP version xampp-win32-5.6.14-4-VC11 I've added, after the section [dba],
this:

zend_extension=php_opcache.dll

[opcache]
; Determines if Zend OPCache is enabled
opcache.enable=1

; Determines if Zend OPCache is enabled for the CLI version of PHP
opcache.enable_cli=0

; The OPcache shared memory storage size.
opcache.memory_consumption=64

; The amount of memory for interned strings in Mbytes.
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=4

; The maximum number of keys (scripts) in the OPcache hash table.
 Only numbers between 200 and 100000 are allowed.
;opcache.max_accelerated_files=2000

; The maximum percentage of "wasted" memory until a restart is scheduled.
opcache.max_wasted_percentage=5

; When this directive is enabled, the OPcache appends the current working
; directory to the script key, thus eliminating possible collisions between
; files with the same name (basename). Disabling the directive improves
; performance, but may break existing applications.
opcache.use_cwd=1

; When disabled, you must reset the OPcache manually or restart the
; webserver for changes to the filesystem to take effect.
;opcache.validate_timestamps=1

; How often (in seconds) to check file timestamps for changes to the shared
; memory storage allocation. ("1" means validate once per second, but only
; once per request. "0" means always validate)
;opcache.revalidate_freq=2

; Enables or disables file search in include_path optimization
;opcache.revalidate_path=0

; If disabled, all PHPDoc comments are dropped from the code to reduce the
; size of the optimized code.
;opcache.save_comments=1

; If disabled, PHPDoc comments are not loaded from SHM, so "Doc Comments"
; may be always stored (save_comments=1), but not loaded by applications
; that don't need them anyway.
;opcache.load_comments=1

; If enabled, a fast shutdown sequence is used for the accelerated code
;opcache.fast_shutdown=0

; Allow file existence override (file_exists, etc.) performance feature.
;opcache.enable_file_override=0

; A bitmask, where each bit enables or disables the appropriate OPcache
; passes
;opcache.optimization_level=0xffffffff

;opcache.inherited_hack=1
;opcache.dups_fix=0

; The location of the OPcache blacklist file (wildcards allowed).
; Each OPcache blacklist file is a text file that holds the names of files
; that should not be accelerated. The file format is to add each filename
; to a new line. The filename may be a full path or just a file prefix
; (i.e., /var/www/x  blacklists all the files and directories in /var/www
; that start with 'x'). Line starting with a ; are ignored (comments).
;opcache.blacklist_filename=

; Allows exclusion of large files from being cached. By default all files
; are cached.
;opcache.max_file_size=0

; Check the cache checksum each N requests.
; The default value of "0" means that the checks are disabled.
;opcache.consistency_checks=0

; How long to wait (in seconds) for a scheduled restart to begin if the cache
; is not being accessed.
;opcache.force_restart_timeout=180

; OPcache error_log file name. Empty string assumes "stderr".
;opcache.error_log=

; All OPcache errors go to the Web server log.
; By default, only fatal errors (level 0) or errors (level 1) are logged.
; You can also enable warnings (level 2), info messages (level 3) or
; debug messages (level 4).
;opcache.log_verbosity_level=1

; Preferred Shared Memory back-end. Leave empty and let the system decide.
;opcache.preferred_memory_model=

; Protect the shared memory from unexpected writing during script execution.
; Useful for internal debugging only.
;opcache.protect_memory=0

Then I restarted Apache. Seems working fine.

Drupal 8's installation doesn't give me any warning.

Ciao,
Fabrizio

Perfect.

@fabrizior You saved my day! Did use full path in the zend_extension section though. Didn't want to take chances since all zend_extension definitions I saw in php.ini used full path.
Like
zend_extension="G:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll"

Great thanks...

Enable OPCache in XAMPP in Mac OS X

pazhyn commented 30 January 2016 at 09:08

For Mac OS X simply uncomment this row in php.ini (located in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/):
zend_extension=opcache.so
And restart Apache.

Thanks

Enable PHP opcache extension on Windows XAMPP

kalidasan commented 5 October 2016 at 10:39

// Add below line at php.ini file. This alone will fix this issue.
zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll"

More details :

If your XAMPP comes with PHP 5.5+ by default, opcache already included in the bundle, you will just need to enable it. To enable the extension:

Open php.ini (by default it should be located here: C:\xampp\php\php.ini).
Add this line at the end of the file: zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll"
Restart Apache server.

Reference link

Be sure to add this zend

greta_drupal commented 6 November 2016 at 15:55

Be sure to add this zend_extension URL reference to the PHP.ini options [PHP] section. I added it at end of "Paths and Directories", just before "File Uploads" settings.

Hi,

1) Add this line zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll".
2) Remove ";" from stating of following lines
opcache.enable=1 (Determines if Zend OPCache is enabled for the CLI version of PHP)

opcache.memory_consumption=64 (The OPcache shared memory storage size)

opcache.max_wasted_percentage=5 (The maximum percentage of "wasted" memory until a restart is scheduled)

opcache.use_cwd=1 (When this directive is enabled, the OPcache appends the current working directory to the script key, thus eliminating possible collisions between files with the same name (basename))

opcache.max_wasted_percentage=5(The maximum percentage of "wasted" memory until a restart is scheduled.)

Thanks!

Thanks Kalidasan

XAMPP comes with PHP OPCache

ramesh_singh commented 12 June 2017 at 09:31

XAMPP comes with PHP OPCache already included in the bundle, you just need to enable it. To enable the extension:
1.Open the file with Notepad++: c:\xampp\php\php.ini
2.Add this line near the extention section: zend_extension=php_opcache.dll
3.Stop/Start Apache
