[BlueOnyx:12019] Re: APC breaks my server

[Rob Shambaugh]

Thanks Michael,

Any suggestions on non-garbage, non-conflicting software that could
accomplish the same tasks?

Drupal is extremely heavy on PHP code, and compiling / caching makes perfect
sense.

In the meantime, I'll give your suggestion a shot. Thanks.

Yeah, that figures. I deliberately don't include APC support in the
Solarspeed PHP. Their code is a piece of garbage and conflicts with another
piece of garbage, which is the Zend Optimizer.

On their own both Zend Optimizer or APC crash a lot. But when used in
conjunction PHP doesn't even get out of the starting blocks without tripping
over.

So you might want to remove (or comment out) this config file, which will
disable Zend:

/home/solarspeed/php/etc/php.d/zend.ini
