Hi Doug,

I talked toHolman about the issue. APC is hardwired at the moment into 3.0.
All you can do is disable it. Our developers went the hardwire way for
greater speed, both of implementation (with the idea of possibly
generalizing after one approach has been successfully implemented) and for
better peformance (one layer fewer). APC was the best of the open source
bunch, and Windows or proprietary cachers have never been our prioity. So
if there is enough interest (read development money or development
contribution), we'll definitely try to include the generalization. For now,
let's aim for a good Windows APC howto.

Hi,

I tried this afternoon to install Campsite 3.0 on a Windows 2003 server,
and got as far as the first install page. However, the installation was
stopped due to problems with the APC cache package.

Installing APC on a Windows server is a major pain, and the number of
queries to various message boards confirms this. For example, one message
board I read that you cannot install APC and Zend Optimiser on the same
server; this was a deal-breaker for the client I am visiting, as they are
using the XAMPP combined installation for Windows32 and do not want to move
away from it on the server they have, because they serve several other
sites with it.

How hard would it be to use different caching modules instead of APC,
either Zend Optimiser or another one?

Barring that, how have people installed APC on their servers? Can anyone
describe the steps to me?

I copied php_apc.dll to the PHP extensions folder and enabled the extension
in php.ini, but I kept getting this message:

apc_fnctl_create: could not open /tmp/apc.lock.0

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated,
