Hello,
I have installed moodle 3.10 on ubuntu 20.04 at digitalocean droplet with the help of command line instructions given at
https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Step-by-step_Installation_Guide_for_Ubuntu.
I am not at IT professional and I was able to install moodle properly, thanks for the document but got stuck in the last of the document which suggests some performance tweaks like Opcache, cron job and clamAV settings. Please excuse me if I am asking very basic points
Although the documents and resource material is very good but still I have some confusions to enable them. The document says
Suggestions: Enable Zend OpCache/Change Document Root
The documents says to add opcache settings to a separate file (what I understand) and suggests a command which is
sudo vi /etc/php7/apache2/conf.d/05-opcache.ini although I think it should be /etc/php/7.4/conf.d/05-opcache.ini
At the above there is a link to settings that need to be added https://docs.moodle.org/26/en/OPcache the required settings are
[opcache]
opcache.enable = 1
opcache.memory_consumption = 128
opcache.max_accelerated_files = 10000
opcache.revalidate_freq = 60
I have observed that PHP.ini file also contains these opcache settings lines that are suggested above,
So, my confusion is
(1) Should I create opcache.ini as mentioned in the document or uncomment these instructions in the PHP.ini file.
(2) the document link also suggests one command zend_extension=/full/path/to/opcache.so
Should I need to add this to the PHP.ini file or ignore it?
I have attached the screenshot of PHP info for Zend Opcahe section from my Moodle instance, if required
