Provide a command line to clear APC cache from the console.
The problem with APC is that it's impossible to clear it from command line. Because even if you enable APC for PHP CLI, it's a different instance than, say, your Apache PHP or PHP-CGI APC instance.
The trick here is to create a file in the web dir, execute it through HTTP, then remove it.
If you want to clear Apache part of APC, you will need to enable allow_url_fopen
in php.ini
to allow opening of URL
object-like files, or set the curl option.
-
Add it to your composer.json:
{ "require": { "ornicar/apc-bundle": "dev-master" } }
or:
composer require ornicar/apc-bundle composer update ornicar/apc-bundle
-
Add this bundle to your application kernel:
// app/AppKernel.php public function registerBundles() { return array( // ... new Ornicar\ApcBundle\OrnicarApcBundle(), // ... ); }
-
Configure
ornicar_apc
service:# app/config/config.yml ornicar_apc: host: http://example.com web_dir: %kernel.root_dir%/../web
-
If you want to use curl rather than fopen set the following option:
# app/config/config.yml ornicar_apc: ... mode: curl
Clear all APC cache (opcode+user):
$ php app/console apc:clear
Clear only opcode cache:
$ php app/console apc:clear --opcode
Clear only user cache:
$ php app/console apc:clear --user
Clear the CLI cache (opcode+user):
$ php app/console apc:clear --cli
To automatically clear apc cache after each capifony deploy you can define a custom task
namespace :symfony do
desc "Clear apc cache"
task :clear_apc do
capifony_pretty_print "--> Clear apc cache"
run "#{try_sudo} sh -c 'cd #{latest_release} && #{php_bin} #{symfony_console} apc:clear --env=#{symfony_env_prod}'"
capifony_puts_ok
end
end
and add this hook
# apc
after "deploy", "symfony:clear_apc"
If you are using nginx and limiting PHP scripts that you are passing to fpm you need to allow 'apc' prefixed php files. Otherwise your web server will return the requested PHP file as text and the system won't be able to clear the apc cache.
Example configuration:
# Your virtual host
server {
...
location ~ ^/(app|app_dev|apc-.*)\.php(/|$) { { # This will allow apc (apc-{MD5HASH}.php) files to be processed by fpm
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
...
