title: Can the APC cache be shared among multiple PHP processes running as fastcgi/fcgid?
body: <p>I'm running a LAMP box with PHP running as fcgid. APC is installed and working well. However, each PHP process gets its own cache. This is a problem, because it would make far more sense to have 10 PHP processes with 300MB shared APC cache than 10 PHP processes, each with a redundant 30MB unshared APC cache.</p>
  
  <p>There was a prior thread on this topic 8 months ago (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/598444/how-to-share-apc-cache-between-several-php-processes-when-running-under-fastcgi">How to share APC cache between several PHP processes when running under FastCGI?</a>) and I am wondering if there have been any developments in this realm since then.</p>
