Running PrestaShop 1.7 on PHP 7 vs PHP 5.6, not big changes

[Malemi]

Hello,

 

I have previously installed PrestaShop 1.7.0.2 on PHP 5.6 and - same installation - later switched to PHP 7.0.14 on my server.

 

I had great expectations about, I believed I would notice a big change as far as shop speed.

 

As a result, I currently do not notice any big change running  PrestaShop 1.7.0.2 on PHP 7.0.14 as comparing with PHP 5.6.

 

Have been doing something wrong?

 

Any help or tips about?

 

 

Thanks in advance

hi,

I try to install Prestashop 1.7.0.2 on my home computer with Zend Server 9 (i.e. Apache 2.4, PHP 7, etc,) but I got message

"Upgrade your APC extension (3.1.13+)."

But Zend server dont use APC, it use OPcache (and other cache posibilities) which is 1.8 faster.

 

What I have to do?

thanks Bru

OPCache and APC do different things in PHP 7.  One is an object cache, the other precompiles and caches php.  You can use both
