How to avoid PHP APCu cache clearing while restarting apache on Ubuntu

Question

I have setup the PHP APCu caching on my Ubuntu machine. But the problem is that cached data is clearing on every time restarting apache. How can i resolve this issue?

I don't think it's possible. PHP runs as an apache process, when it's stopped, it will clear the APC as well. — Nimeshka Srimal, Jul 12 '18 at 16:00

Since PHP run as apache process you cannot do it so easly. But you can use php-fpm with apache and then they will be two independent processes. You will only need to install php-fpm, run in and in apache vhost configuration put:

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/path/to/your/documentroot/$1
DirectoryIndex /index.php index.php

More information on configuring apache with php-fpm can be found here
