Magento caching new file

Question

I have created a php file and uploaded it to my Magento server but it's being cached. It's a standard .php file, but whenever I amend it, nothing changes. This has only just started happening.

Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?

Answer 1

Sounds like your server hosts have installed APC or another "opcode" cache. I'd start with clearing the APC cache, and if that doesn't help then escalate to your server host's support system. Being able to deploy new code is a reasonable feature to want in a server.
