QNAP NAS – Delay in page refresh PHP

QNAP NAS – Delay in page refresh PHP

Comments 0 Comment

Also known as “PHP is acting weird in QNAP web server”. Apparently PHP OPcache is causing 60s delay in page refresh, see php.ini settings below. [opcache]opcache.memory_consumption = 64opcache.interned_strings_buffer = 8opcache.max_accelerated_files = 4000opcache.revalidate_freq = 60opcache.fast_shutdown = 1 Solution is quite simple and it worked for my device! Go to php.ini (Control Panel >Web Server >php.ini Maintenance > Edit )Find opcache.fast_shutdown = 1 and below it add opcache.enable = 0opcache.validate_timestamps = 0 That should do the trick!Thanks to Artand.
