CodeKit Caching

So:

"You have MAMP installed on your Mac. If MAMP has 'operation caching' (OPCache) turned on, you will not see changes as you modify PHP files because MAMP will continue serving the old, cached version of each page. Do you want CodeKit to automatically reconfigure MAMP to disable OPCache?

[No] [YES]

I have no idea what is this. What should I press?

I develop sites in PHP yes, such as WP and or static sites with include('header.php'); code .

Reconfiguring MAMP to disable OPCache sounds like the way to go. That way you don't have to worry about not seeing changes you make to your PHP files on your development machine. One less thing to worry about. ^_^

Hey Konrad,

I don't really know too much about OPCache is but as far as I know you have to let CodeKit reconfigure MAMP in order to see changes live without reloading and you shouldn't worry too much about it. So if you want to see changes live in the browser while developing choose YES, I hope that helps! :)
