error_log file?

Hi,

I keep getting this error_log file generated with this error inside it, any idea whats wrong?

Code:

[21-Oct-2010 15:20:17] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: apc.shm_size now uses M/G suffixes, please update your ini files in Unknown on line 0

 

Moved to General Troubleshooting as it looks to be an APC config issue.

 

This is what I use in my xenforo v1 config.php (below everything else)

PHP:

$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions'] = array(
                                        'caching'                      => true,
                                        'automatic_serialization'      => true,
                                        'lifetime'                      => 10800,
                                        'cache_id_prefix' => 'fans'
);
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Apc';

Note how the cache_id_prefix is set to fans.

To learn more about using / enabling APC for XenForo, see this documentation:

# http://xenforo.com/community/threads/speed-up-your-board-caching.5699/
# http://xenforo.com/community/threads/tip-use-apc.6456/

 

Added this to my config file but its still showing that error.

 

What do you have in your php.ini file set to that option (apc.shm_size)? It should be something like 256M, not just 256.

 

will have a look thanks when I can work out how to edit and save it in SSH.... i'm a noob with SSH.

Could you tell me step by step in how to load and edit and save php.ini please?

 

locate php.ini
then you have it.

cat /path/to/php.ini |grep "apc.shm_size"

and it should spit out the line disclosing 256 or 256M

 

root@mrfloris:~# cat /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini |grep "apc.shm_size"
#apc.shm_size = 128
root@mrfloris:~# locate apc.ini
/etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini
root@mrfloris:~# cat /etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini |grep "apc.shm_size"
root@mrfloris:~#


That's all I could think of.

The # in front of the line means it's commented out, so it's not actually set to 128 for my system. So it goes to 'default'; whichever that is.

Make a new file called phpinfo.php with content <?=phpinfo(); and run it from the browser.
Search for APC, maybe it will disclose more details. And if not, then type

locate apc.php
cp /path/to/apc.php $HOME/public_html/apc.php

and run apc.php from the browser.

 

Did you manage ok ?

 

No i'm strugling I cant find which php file to edit... theres about 10 php.ini files in different locations

also if I load a file using

vi php.ini then click [escape] and type in :wq is wont have messed up the php.ini file will it or when you recompile does it rewrite all the php.ini files?

 

according to the info i had from yesterday this is the one :

/usr/local/lib/php.ini

 

After you edit the php.ini you need to reload Apache by running this :
sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl graceful

 

All working perfect now, Thanks
