PHP APC not working

I just installed APC with PHP Handler FastCGI. But it seems the Cache never working.

if(($t=apc_fetch('key_4321'))===FALSE){
    $t=time();
    apc_add('key_4321', $t, 24*60*60);
}

echo $t;

Almost each time I run it I got a different timestamp. Only a few times it remains the same results. What's the possible reason?

I'm using PHP Version 5.3.21 and Server API is CGI/FastCGI. 

Server Software Apache/2.2.23 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.23 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_fcgid/2.3.6

Below is my APC setting.

Solution

  • Having used APC on a big website ~ I can strongly advise people NOT to use APC.

    Instead, I'd like to recommend for you to use XCache It's the same as APC, but doesn't crash and segfault all the time.
