Yesterday evening, I was working on my CentOS Server which has php-apc already installed. It was some error I found and after solving I was just monitoring it.

I made a thought to try to install php-apc on newly arrived Ubuntu 14.04 Server Edition . Installing php-apc is easy steps. I installed the php 5.5 version but here, I found some unusual thing which made me to googling it.

I found the error –
make: *** [apc_compile.lo] Fehler 1
ERROR: `make’ failed

While searching on internet, I found this bug no. https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65731

As per the the Rasmus Lerdorf main lead developer (rasmus@php.net), “APC doesn’t support PHP 5.5. PHP 5.5 comes bundled with an opcode cache now.”

The bug ticket number was also suspended.

Hence it was quite clear, APC does not support PHP 5.5 .
