Can I install Memcached with PHP 7.1?

Thanks Dave, I will keep this advice.

Not sure memache or memcached but I need to run these codes in config.php file
and that requires memcache

$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Memcached';
$i = 0;
// First Server
$i++;
$config['Misc']['memcacheserver'][$i]		= '127.0.0.1';
$config['Misc']['memcacheport'][$i]			= 11211;
$config['Misc']['memcachepersistent'][$i]	= true;
$config['Misc']['memcacheweight'][$i]		= 1;
$config['Misc']['memcachetimeout'][$i]		= 1;
$config['Misc']['memcacheretry_interval'][$i] = 15;

My test server runs php 7.1 like this.

I installed OPcache but not sure APCu is which you are mentioning to..where can I read tutorisl on how to install it or integrate it with vB 4.

My vB4 is working as a charm and it would be more greater if I run it with php7 and mariadb.

Thank you!
