Got a new server and the host installed APC for me.

Reloading apc.php shows that ACP resets itself every 4-6 seconds. Uptime is always 0 and hits never go above 3000.

The site runs smoothly but if APC really starts over again & again, I'd like to fix that.

The error_log doesn't show errors. The only thing I can find is an cronjob error on running some php script PHP Warning: Module 'apc' already loaded in Unknown on line 0.

Specs:

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

  • Relevant log file entries? – Sven May 31 '14 at 12:53
  • The error_log in my site's directory doesn't show errors. The only thing I can find is an cronjob error on running some php script `PHP Warning: Module 'apc' already loaded in Unknown on line 0`. Any other log files to check? – Martin May 31 '14 at 12:58
  • `PHP Warning: Module 'apc' already loaded in Unknown on line 0.` That means there are two references trying to load that module. The first succeeds, the second complains it's already there. – AD7six May 31 '14 at 14:05

the problem is mod_fcgid
read its manual page: http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html

impossible to share opcode cache, thats why you see different caches when apc is refreshed... suPHP is evil too.

use mod_fastcgi with php-fpm

p.s. some apc configurations required to set apc.enable_opcode_cache = 1
