We can toss out some general ideas for how to speed up websites, though we don't have specific details on how to go about that. That's a bit outside the scope of our support here.

Some form of caching may help -- you may want to look into Memcache, and whether Owncloud supports that.

We'd suggest caution using packages from third party repositories, but you can always install APC using PHP's "pecl" tools, as seen here:

We hope those ideas get you started in the right direction, though remember that we can't provide specific support regarding the above.

Virtualmin uses the PHP version that's available to your Linux distribution.

PHP7 is in use in Ubuntu 16.04, and it may also be available, or it's coming soon, in the CentOS SCL repository seen here:

https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/web/multiplephp

The above instructions can be used to install other PHP versions on CentOS as well.

You may need to check and see if the SCL repo has PHP7 in it yet... if it doesn't, PHP7 packages may not be ready yet.

However, I don't think changing the PHP version will make things dramatically faster. I'd suggest setting up a PHP cache of some sort for ownCloud. Details of how to do that are here:

I'm impossible to make caching with virtualmin, i have Centos 7, virtualmin pro, and i make this changes ->

yum install php-pecl-apcu

I go to config.php of owncloud and i add this in last line ->

'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu',

i go to virtualmin and add this in "Services" -> "PHP 5 Configuration" ->

[apcu] apc.enabled = 1 apc.shm_size = 128M apc.enable_cli = 1

I make this changes in php globally, in php5.5/php5.6 globally and in domain who hosted nextcloud in php/php5.5 and php5.6 i add this lines in all phps configs and the result is the same when i access to Nextcloud ->

Memcache \OC\Memcache\APCu not available for local cache Is the matching PHP module installed and enabled?

PD: I restart httpd service with this -> service httpd restart with all changes but no working :-(

In other server without virtualmin its working but i think virtualmin changes any path and not working the changes to php ¿??

When installing the package "php-pecl-apcu", that's only installing apcu for the PHP 5.4 version included with CentOS.

You would also need to install an apcu module version for your other PHP modules that came from the SCL repository. You would need to check in SCL to see if they include such a package, and if so, what the package name is.

Great, glad to hear that worked for you!

Virtualmin does support PHP 7, though it's not available for all distros currently.

We're hoping to see that in the Software Collections repository soon though!

With Ubuntu 16.04 and PHP 7.1 you can install APCu with the following command

sudo apt update && sudo apt install php7.1-apcu -y
