php settings for virtual server?

Submitted by severncomputers on Thu, 04/23/2020 - 02:10 Pro Licensee

I'm trying to improve the performance of nextcloud since upgrading a virtual servers nextcloud instsance to mysql. When logging in as administrator I am getting the following warning under 'settings/overview':

The PHP OPcache is not properly configured. For better performance it is recommended to use the following settings in the php.ini: opcache.enable=1 opcache.enable_cli=1 opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8 opcache.max_accelerated_files=10000 opcache.memory_consumption=128 opcache.save_comments=1 opcache.revalidate_freq=1

I have added these settings to the php.ini on the path given in the virtualmin web php configuration page for this virtual server: /home/domain/etc/php7.2/php.ini but the warning remains. I have also added these to the main php.ini file at /etc/php.ini and /home/domain/public_html/nextcloud/.user.ini none of which seem to make any difference. Where can I find the correct php.ini file to insert these parameters?

Thanks.

Howdy -- thanks for contacting us!

What is the PHP Execution Mode that this domain is using? You can determine that in Server Configuration -> Website Options.

Second, what PHP Version is it using? You can see that in Server Configuration -> PHP Versions.

It shows this option as selected: FCGId (run as virtual server owner).

Under 'server configuration', 'php options' it lists 'default html directory' as 7.2.24, there is also a blank line under that with 5.4.16 with nothing next to it. Under 'services', 'php 7.2 configuration' if shows the path /home/domain/etc/php7.2/php.ini, I have updated this files and it does not change the message from within nextcloud.

Note that if you edit php.ini directly, changes may not take effect until a reboot or when the PHP FPM server for the domain is restarted.

I rebooted the server after each change and it made no difference.

Are you sure you added the options to the correct section of the php.ini file?

I added all these opcache settings to the end of the php.ini files, there are no other references to 'opcache' anywhere in the existing php.ini files.

It seems the correct file to add the opcache is the path '/etc/opt/rh/rh-php72/php.d/10-opcache.ini' and not the php.ini file. Adding the opcache settings into this files has removed the warning from within the nextcloud admin under settings/overview.

Surprising - can you attach that opcache.ini file to this ticket?

Hmm ... it's not clear why the settings would work in that file, but not in the regular php.ini
