Hi,

make sure that APCu is actually loaded / enabled within PHP.

This is the (hopefully) relevant section of the phpinfo:

4

Does the received error message in your logs contains something about cron?

If yes you need to put apc.enable_cli=1 into /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

I guess not.
I copied the content as is.

6

I think the:

twice with 30 sec inbetween, never since

shows that those where coming from cron or the occ command line. To prevent those you need to follow the instruction above.

7

This would not impact any other aspect of my server's configuration?
If I can add this without any (unrelated) impacts I would be happy to add the line and check back in around 24 hours to see if this topic has been resolved.

That probably needs a research on your own on your favorite search engine.

I have only just got around to setting up a cron job over the default Ajax option.
So as far as I understand I should have triggered chron.php every time I (re)loaded a page.
Doesn't this mean I would have triggered more entries in the error log?

10

The differences are described in the documentation:

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.1/admin_manual/configuration_server/background_jobs_configuration.html#cron-jobs

So yes, if you now configure "Cron" within the GUI and configuring a system cron which calls the cron.php you're getting this logentry at each cron run until you're configuring the mentioned php.ini option.

11

You installed Memcache APCu too?, or only the PHP APCu?. You need booth.

12

I have only installed the packages as described before (only php5-apcu).
This is according to the documentation.
I have left it to do it's thing for a while and have not encountered another log entry of the same kind.
This leads me to believe that it has nothing to do with the cron jobs.

13

OK, i had access with remove and reinstall APCu like this

apt-get remove php5-APCu
apt-get install php-pear php5-dev
pecl install APCu

and
'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu', # \ take this in php config

14

Two (2) of \ this in php-config. it was important in my config!.

15

Just did a write-up about the message if it contains a cli entry in the log output:

16

I guess this command "apt-get install php5-apcu" may cause some trouble.

What I am going to do is set enable=1 in the "remi-php56" of the file /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo. Use the yum install -y php-ecl-apcu to install APCu, then APCu module might keep the same compatible version with the PHP and run fully functional.

apt-get install php5-apcu
