PECL extension in Ubuntu 11.10

  • 772

I was installing Mediawiki on my local development machine and in the configuration, it told me that I will have to make do with slower loading tradition php pages because I dont have a PECL extension installed.

Does installing PECL really speed up page load times on a local server(or any server)? If yes, can I please have a detailed tutorial on how to install PECL and configure it that says more than just sudo apt-get install pecl-php?

  1. Try the following:

    $ sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev 
$ sudo pecl install pecl_http
$ sudo echo 'extension=http.so' >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
$ sudo service apache2 restart

    To verify it's installed run the following command

    $ php -m | grep http

    You should see http in the output.
