PHP opcache preload is not loaded on Apache


I'm using Apache/2.4.29 with PHP 7.4.5 as module.

Apache and PHP are configured with lito as user.

Virtualhost configuration with PHP settings:

php_admin_value opcache.enabled 1
php_admin_value opcache.preload /home/lito/www/preload.php
php_admin_value opcache.preload_user lito

phpinfo show opcache configuration:

opcache.enable On
opcache.preload /home/lito/www/preload.php
opcache.preload_user lito

No errors on apache log.

After apache restart opcache_get_status haven't any key related with preload status (preload_statistics) and there are only one script preloaded (current phpinfo.php):

                )
        )
)

Is not available opcache preload on Apache with PHP as module (without a custom php.ini)?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Tested adding preload file on /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini and it works fine.


Solution

  • Similar (for nginx with php-fpm): https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79043#1578412872

    As far as I can tell, it looks like preloading is not in effect when configured this way.

    Answer from PHP core dev:

    yes, as preloading happens during early server startup, enabling it through php_admin_value does not work.
