How to disable APC ... completely?

[darkangel]

Hi,

I need to disable APC, because I think it may be causing issues under load, but when I tried to do this last time (by disabling the extension and restarting Apache), it caused strange things to happen (reading old caches, etc.).

I found out that it's because restarting Apache has no effect on Fast-CGI workers, and that I need to "restart" the workers as well. What is the best (non-destructive) way to do this?

Thanks.

Locate apc.ini (under ubuntu/debian /etc/php5/conf.d/apc.ini) and disable it:

;extension=apc.so

Restart apache.

Thanks, but did you read my post?
