Hi Timo!

Most likely you didn't increase the SHMMAXPGS value in your kernel,
and it is too low for the default shared memory segment APC wants
to create.

I recommend reading the "CONFIGURING APC" section in the INSTALL
document that comes with APC (/usr/pkg/share/doc/php-apc/INSTALL).

You can either edit your php.ini file to set apc.shm_size to some
lower value (on i386 default SHMMAXPGS of 2048 you have only 8MB
to use), or create a custom kernel with higher SHMMAXPGS (for the
default 30MB requested by APC, set SHMMAXPGS to 7680 or higher).

I am using the following in my kernel config:

options         SYSVSHM         # System V-like memory sharing
# Increase SHMMAXPGS for the benefit of Alternative PHP Cache (APC)
options         SHMMAXPGS=16384 # 2048 pages is the default

Regards,
+ Kim
