I found out my Horde logs were being spammed by the following messages: ---- 2011-06-28T14:43:57+02:00 WARN: HORDE PHP ERROR: xcache_get(): xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching [pid 13972 on line 95 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Cache/Storage/Xcache.php"] 2011-06-28T14:43:57+02:00 WARN: HORDE PHP ERROR: xcache_unset(): xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching [pid 13972 on line 100 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Cache/Storage/Xcache.php"] 2011-06-28T14:43:57+02:00 WARN: HORDE PHP ERROR: xcache_unset(): xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching [pid 13972 on line 101 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Cache/Storage/Xcache.php"] 2011-06-28T14:43:57+02:00 WARN: HORDE PHP ERROR: xcache_get(): xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching [pid 13972 on line 39 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Cache/Storage/Xcache.php"] 2011-06-28T14:43:57+02:00 WARN: HORDE [horde] PHP ERROR: xcache_set(): xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching [pid 13972 on line 51 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Cache/Storage/Xcache.php"] 2011-06-28T14:43:57+02:00 WARN: HORDE [horde] PHP ERROR: xcache_set(): xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching [pid 13972 on line 51 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Cache/Storage/Xcache.php"] 2011-06-28T14:43:58+02:00 WARN: HORDE [horde] PHP ERROR: xcache_set(): xcache.var_size is either 0 or too small to enable var data caching [pid 13972 on line 51 of "/usr/share/php/Horde/Cache/Storage/Xcache.php"] ------ These messages occured only when running one of Horde's CLI scripts in /usr/bin. Caching via the web server seems to work fine. It turned out that Xcache doesn't support PHP CLI, and won't do in the future. This seems to generate these notices. http://xcache.lighttpd.net/ticket/228 When I disable the Xcache backend in Horde, PHP CLI scripts like horde-alarms run just fine without logfile spamming. I tried a workaround by disabling Xcache in php.ini for the CLI, but that generates just another obvious error: --- PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function xcache_set() in /usr/share/php/Horde/Cache/Storage/Xcache.php on line 51 --- The solution would propably for Horde be to disable Xcache when it is being called from the CLI.

We probably need to exclude other drivers that don't support CLI too. 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) http://git.horde.org/horde-git/-/commit/f69a464965be1856332b09712ef9b5f09d3c78dc Sat, 15 Oct 2011 11:23:55 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10288#t68235
