The following patch changes the "configured" wording to "enabled" for OPcache in the "Extension modules" section of the pkg-readme. Using "configured" made it confusing to me because there doesn't seem to be anything that needs to be done, if the defaults are okay, other than enabling the extension as mentioned later in the section.
For what it's worth, I tested disabling and enabling OPcache without tweaking anything else, and phpinfo() looked fine. I was also getting around 2x difference between the two configurations when loading the same page. I looked at the php.ini-* patches in CVS and checked the PHP changelogs/migration guides all the way back to 7.0, and there doesn't seem to be a reason to require anything other than the default configuration. On an unrelated but PHP-related note, I recently did a pkg_add -u on a 6.6 server and got the following misleading output after PHP was upgraded from 7.3.15 to 7.3.16: # pkg_add -u [snip] --- -php-7.3.15 ------------------- You should also run rm -f /etc/php-7.3.sample/* You should also run rm -f /etc/php-fpm.d/* File /etc/php-7.3.sample/opcache.ini does not exist You should also check /etc/php-7.3.ini (which was modified) Running the first rm -f would remove the "sample" extension configuration files, break the symlinks to them that are in /etc/php-73, and cause those extensions to not be loaded. The other rm -f would remove additional configuration files for php-fpm. I have a feeling they're displayed because that package was deleted before/after the new one version was installed, but they probably shouldn't be displayed during an upgrade. I'm not sure if there's something that can be done in the port or if it's just a bug/quirk in how pkg_add works.
