After enabling fastcgi my admin only logs in after 20-50 tries

[akyeame]

As the title suggests, I can login to Zencart admin but only after 20-50 retries. It's really ridiculous. It happened after my host reconfigured my VPS account for Fastcgi APC. Because of the amount of traffic I'm getting that's the only configuration supported short of dedicated server as suPhP was encountering issues.

Is there any known issue with Fastcgi APC? Is there a fix for this?

How much traffic do you get?

[akyeame]

between 1,600 and 1,800 unique visitors per day.

You might want to change hosts then. I get way more than that and runs fine on shared hosting

Are you running Windows hosting?

I'm on linux and I'm all ears. I went from hostgator VPS to inmotionhosting VPS and i figured it's just a hard upsell to go to dedicated with them. Until I can move is there any fix for the login issue?

Not sure if it makes any difference, but most of the traffic is going to vbulletin forums and not the zencart. They're saying the pull on the server is caused by the forums. However that caused the whole server (of course including zencart) to be reconfigured for Fastcgi APC. The login has been having issues since the changeover.

I don't know of a fix, but the way I look at it if you're having problems trying to log into admin, I would assume customers are also having problems logging into the site. Even if there is a fix, id have lost confidence if its 100% and seeing as you can't sit there all day checking this every 2 mins, Id move the site, or at least move the database.

I assumed the same thing but I'm getting orders coming through with no problem and no issues reported. I can also login to the front end with no issue. This appears to be restricted to the admin section only. I've tried fixes for "can't login to zencart admin" that I've found from google searches but none have helped.

Is there a host you would recommend?

What is the exact error you get or is it a page not found / server 500 page?
