Did a "Force reinstall" yesterday did some testing, checked again today and the APC problem seems to be fixed
FYI here are the processes.
Code:
0 3353 1 0 4:02PM ?? 0:00.01 litespeed (lshttpd)
0 3356 3353 0 4:02PM ?? 0:00.06 lsphp5
-2 3535 3356 0 4:14PM ?? 0:01.24 lsphp5
-2 3539 3356 0 4:14PM ?? 0:09.82 lsphp5
-2 3541 3356 0 4:14PM ?? 0:06.73 lsphp5
-2 3613 3356 0 4:22PM ?? 0:00.21 lsphp5
The top process (3353) is still lshttpd, but I can see that it has a child process lsphp5 (3356) running under "root", which has four children running under "nobody", I suppose the parent lsphp5 process you were referring to is 3356 in this case, and that it spawned four child processes since I have the 4-core license.
I will keep an eye on the uptime issue of the server, but I have a feeling that it might be fixed as well since APC is now working properly.
I really do appreciate your help throughout all this & Thank you!
