DirectAdmin Disable OPCache | How to Guide

If you want to disable OPCache in DirectAdmin, our experts are here to help you out. OPcache, short for Opcode Cache is a PHP extension. It helps improve the performance of PHP-based applications. Furthermore, It reduces server load by lowering CPU usage and memory consumption.

This process involves modifying the PHP configuration file for the PHP version we are using. Now, let’s take a closer look at the steps:

1. First, we have to connect to the server via SSH or use a terminal.
2. Then, it is time to find the PHP configuration file for the version we want to modify. The file usually goes by the name php.ini. We can find it at found at /etc/php.ini, /usr/local/lib/php.ini, or within the specific PHP version’s directory.
3. Next, we have to open the PHP configuration file with a text editor and find the OPCache configuration section. It looks like this:

   [opcache] ; opcache.enable=1 ;
4. Then, we have either to uncomment the line or add this line to disable OPCache:

   opcache.enable=0
5. Now, save the file and exit.
6. Finally, we must restart the web server for the changes to take effect. The command used depends on the server configuration.

After the above steps, OPCache will be disabled for the PHP version on our DirectAdmin server.

Our experts would like to point out that changing PHP configuration files and disabling OPCache should be done with caution. Let us know in the comments if you need further help with disabling OPCache in DirectAdmin.
