How to install APC on CentOS 6.2

Various instructions in Internet on the subject did not give any joy, so compiling my own sequence, which did the trick:

yum install php-pear php-devel httpd-devel gcc pcre-devel apc
nano /etc/php.d/apc.ini

Put the following in apc.ini:


; Enable apc extension module
extension=apc.so
apc.enabled=1
apc.shm_segments=1
apc.shm_size=256
apc.stat=0

Then copy apc.php to public_html directory of your website:

cp /usr/share/pear/apc.php /home/username/public_html
service httpd restart
