[darb]

I wonder if there any one using and/or have issues with OPcache Joomla 3.10.2 and php 8?

I have a problem to use OPcache with php 8.0.10 and Joomla 3.10.2 for my hosting.

When trying to enable Joomlas OPcache it doesnt show up there. It work for php 7.4 but not for php 8..

any tips or is it a bug?

cheers!

I cannot reproduce your issue on 2 different websites:

A Joomla 4.0.3 website with PHP 7.4.21 runs with Zend OPcache v7.4.21,
I've switched it to PHP 8.08, and Zend OPcache v8.0.8 seems to work correctly.

A Joomla 3.10.2 website with PHP 7.4.21 runs with Zend OPcache v7.4.21
I've switched it to PHP 8.08, and Zend OPcache v8.0.8 seems to work correctly too.

Both servers work on Nginx 1.19.3 web server with fpm-fcgi WebServer to PHP Interface.

In both cases System > System Information > PHP Information show under Zend OPcache:
Opcode Caching: Up and Running

Thks pe7er checking with one of my hostings now (Misshosting Zend OPcache v8.0.10)..did you test it so you can config it in Joomla admin as well bcs thats the problem I have.

It doesnt show up as an option just "File" but not OPcache there.

Did it show up under PHP 7.4?

In Joomla 3.10/4.0 and PHP 7.4/8.0 I can NOT select OPcache under System > Global Configuration > [system] > "File".
I thought that OPcache was server only and that you didn't have to configure it in Joomla.
Please correct me if I am wrong...

No in all time in Joomla you can choose Joomla cache handling if its file, db and or Opcache, Redis or whatever. If you not enable it in Joomla how can OPcache work for Joomla ?

It work in php 7.4 but not php 8.0

Edit: should be APcache not OPcache I mean here.. https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support ... -with-apc/

I don't have it available under Cache Handler.
Even another Joomla 3.10.03 site on another server using PHP 7.3 does not show it (while the system configuration shows that OPcache is installed and enabled).

I have op cache enabled in php 8.10, there is no option in the J4 system cache to choose OPcache??
Is this a bug or how its supposed to be?
Update, now making changes to my user.css I find I have to clear my browser cache now for the changes to show which was not the case before enabling OPcache. It would seem to function without choosing it in joomla config.

OPcache is where the server caches the compiled php code for faster execution. It's not a content cache that Joomla can use.

Thanks Per.

I dont use Joomla 4 here its Joomla 3.10.2

The cache settings is under administrator/index.php?option=com_config

Cache handler ie File, (OPCache) APcache user cache and Redis I can choose there to enable these cache for Joomla 3.10.2 that works with php 7.4 but not php 8.0

see image attached.

Edit: It should be APC cache instead of OPcache I mean that should be visable there in php 8 and that is seen in php 7.4 but not php 8.0. My misstake to mix OPcache with APcache https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support ... -with-apc/

And this is the Session handler.. sorry I see now that I mean APC user cache an not OPCache !

Ah, so OPcache is server only, and that you don't have to configure it in Joomla, after all

Sorry, I don't have APC on my servers.
I use OPcache. And Redis (that I have to configure in the Joomla configuration)
