Implementing a cache. Memcached, Redis, APC?

dstrum

I have a few sites on Webfaction that I need to migrate. I am looking at Opalstack as an option and have migrated a copy of one of them as a test. It is a Drupal 7 / CiviCRM 5 website.

One of the reasons I used Webfaction was because CiviCRM runs much better with some form of cache. On Webfaction I was using Memcached which was available by default. Any recommendations for Opalstack? Memcached, Redis, APC? If so, how might I implement this? Thanks.

The PHP setup here at Opalstack is configured with support for Memcached, Redis, and Opcache.

Memcached is pre-installed on our servers, so you can use that exactly as you did at WebFaction.

Redis is not pre-installed on our servers, but you can install it yourself and use it exactly as you did at WebFaction.

Note that if you were using a "custom app listening on port" application at WF for memcached or redis, you can use a "proxy port" application here for the same purpose. You also have the option of using a filesystem socket in your shell user home directory.

Opcache is enabled by default for all PHP apps running on our builtin PHP setup.

sean Thank you. Yes, I got Memcached working exactly the same way as on Webfaction.
