Issue with two instances of cakePHP on the same Server

Need Help
1

I recently copied and adapted (modified) an existing application on the same Apache2 Server (On a Ubuntu Server) :
==> After deploy, If I access site 1, Site 2 Gives Apache 500 Error (and not cakephp 500 error page) . And vice versa if I access Site 2 first.
I changed the cache prefixes in app.php . On localhost (windows) I don’t have this problem. It appears only when I Deploy on the remote Ubuntu Server .
I had a look at apache error log and I found that Site 2 is trying to access Site 1 files. Here is the log:
(in this example, the correct path is not /…/web10/… , but /…/web9/.)

You should check on your virtual host first and do not forget to empty cakephp cache before to deploy in production.

Are you using nginx or apache ?

I’m using Apache2 on Ubuntu 14.x LTS .
What do you mean by checking the virtual host, Do you mean the configuration file of the virtual host ?
For cache I delete /tmp/* .

Yes you should check it as well.

I actually don’t know your file structure, except with the path you gave us, so hard to help you :wink:

I think I found something interesting… May be it is because of the __DIR__ constant
I did the following test :

  1. I added an echo __DIR__ in the top of the file : /vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php in both sites ;
  2. Site 1 displays it’s own directory;
  3. Site 2 Displays Site’s 1 directory !!

What do you think ? Thanks

Ok !
I found it my self … The problem was a bug in OPCache :
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67481

I disabled it and it works. Here is how to do it (I had not the exact paths but I tried to do the same).

I rebooted the whole server after that
