Enable Upload Progress in Apache / nginx?

[BrianGilbert]

From Drupal report page:

Your server is capable of displaying file upload progress, but does not have the required libraries. It is recommended to install the PECL uploadprogress library (preferred) or to install APC.

http://pecl.php.net/package/uploadprogress
http://us2.php.net/apc

This is possible with the following config

php_pecl_extensions:
  - uploadprogress

APC is not required with PHP 5.5 and above as it ships with zend opcache.

We need to test this more before adding it by default as I think PECL requires a network connection (even if it is installed already).

[Decipher]

Not entirely true. The XHProf role required an internet connection because it wasn't checking if the package was already installed.

I can confirm that the php-pecl role -- https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-php-pecl/blob/master/tasks/main.yml attempts to install packages before checking they have been installed so therefore it will fail without a network connection.
