OPCache and session optimization in BoostonCP

POSTED BY: php_architect ACTIVE_MEMBER POSTED ON: Jun 03, 2026 CATEGORY: GUIDE

Does BCP use files or Redis for session storage by default? Our client's high-traffic site is slowing down due to session file lock issues on the disk.

BCP mounts a RAM Disk (tmpfs) on `/var/lib/php/sessions`. Mapping session storage to memory instead of slow disk storage prevents lock overhead. Make sure your php.ini points session.save_path to that RAM directory.
