Component body

Provides an APC status and cache reporting page, accessible by a link on the status report page.

Installation

APC Status requires:

  • Libraries API module.
  • apc.php, renamed to apc.php.inc and put in a directory named APC (case-sensitive) in the library search path (e.g., sites/all/libraries/APC).

Security Considerations

Since APC is host based allowing access to the status page may be a very bad idea. Why? Because if the Drupal site gets compromised, you compromise all other sites running on the same host. Imagine someone playing with the Clean OpCode Cache button. How will the host and other sites react? It can make all sites on the host unresponsive.

Caveat Emptor. Please see #1344194: Allowing access to APC is a bad idea security wise.
