apc opcode cache stops running for vhost when vhost has local php.ini

[nisiwi]

Hello, I've got APC Opcode cache installed via PECL module installer on a VPS and it seems to be running OK, which I've checked with the apc.php file.

However if a vhost uses a local php.ini file the Opcode cache stops running for that vhost (again checked with apc.php file), even if the contents of the php.ini are blank (so no rules overriding APC).

Any idea what would be causing this and how to enable local php.ini and keep APC running ?

Hello

Do you experience the same issue when you copy the /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to the account instead of using a blank php.ini file?

Thank you.

Hmm, interesting thought cPanelMichael. I'll give that a try as it might reveal a problem with the file itself.

Aha! That got it. So what are your thoughts on what I'm missing cPanelMichael or was it the file itself ?

I'll try working that one through to find out.

A custom php.ini file may not have the necessary entries that are required for the PECL module you have installed. Copying the primary php.ini file to the account or not using a php.ini file at all would prevent this problem.

Thank you.

First thing make sure that you are not running your server on suPHP as opcode cache modules does not works with suPHP.
