Comment on Alternative PHP Cache (APC) on Debian by meinhard

meinhard — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 14:03:49 +0000

To install APC on a minimal Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) I just typed:

apt-get install php-pear php5-dev gawk apache2-threaded-dev make pecl install apc

..added “extension=apc.so” to the php.ini and restarted Apache - done! Also see http://2bits.com/articles/installing-php-apc-gnulinux-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-710-and-debian.html

Comment on Alternative PHP Cache (APC) on Debian by :DTM.

Everything had been worked perfectly with APC and eZ Publish on my Debian Etch amd64 until I issued:
pecl upgrade apc

which upgraded to APC-3.0.16 and created a new library in
/usr/lib/php5/20060613/apc.so

which replaced the previous
/usr/lib/php4/20050606/apc.so [APC-3.0.14 - shoot, I don't have a backup...]

The problem must be that I installed php5 [cgi] after php4 and apc…

If I move the new apc.so to the correct extension_dir, Apache2 can’t load it and says:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php4/20050606/apc.so’ - /usr/lib/php4/20050606/apc.so: undefined symbol: zend_opcode_handlers in Unknown on line 0

How can I recompile apc for just PHP/4.4.4-8+etch4 and give eZ Publish a cache again?

Regards, :DTM.

Comment on Tell Harper: Stop Blocking UN Climate Talks by matthew

matthew — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 22:04:13 +0000

After huge pressure, both from within Canada and abroad, Harper was forced to back down at the end of the Bali climate negotiations. Avaaz is declaring “we won”, and the globe and mail is also covering the story. Thank you to everyone who signed the petition, called Harper, or worked on the campaign here or in Bali.

Personally I don’t think we will have won until the international climate talks stop being a constant battle just to prevent the governments of the world from moving backwards. We pour all our efforts into simply keeping the process from going off the rails, when what we really need to be doing is coming together as a world to actually deal with climate change rather than petty politics and big oil’s stranglehold on our democracy.
