Can not install php 5.5 opcache on Centos 6.4

Question

I have php 5.5 installed on CentOS (from Remi repo, as far as I remember).

Now I wanted to turn on opcache and configure it, but it turned out that I have no opcache.so file in the system. So I tried to install it with yum.

# yum --enablerepo=remi install php-pecl-zendopcache

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

How to cope with this problem, if I have newer versions of php installed and dependencies can not be properly resolved?

Solution 1

Oh, I've already got answer to my question :) Add it here, maybe, someone else will use it.

Initially I installed php using such command

# yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55 install php-pecl-apc php-cli php-pear php-pdo php-mysqlnd php-pgsql php-pecl-mongo php-sqlite php-pecl-memcache php-pecl-memcached php-gd php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-xml

Now I just ADDED missing extension with this command

# yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55 install php-opcache

And it worked!!! phpinfo() shows needed module :)

Solution 2

I had a similar problem when installing php-mcrypt and I used this command:

sudo yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php56 install php-mcrypt

Can't get it to work. Got centOs 6 and remi php 5.6 installed. php -v outputs opcache. but iam unable to access my httpdocs files. connection just quits, no error in apache log. after yum remove php-opcache, everything works again. am i missing something?
