Hi all,

There is an article about APC being installed on Dreamhost:
http://blog.dreamhosters.com/2006/04/11/end-of-php-as-an-apache-module/

Someone stated that they actually installed sucessfully APC with Dreamhost.
As you know APC will dramatically increase your site performance and ease the server also. Read more here:

I compiled APC on DreamHost with no problems… I have my own PHP version compiled also with FastCGI enabled.
However, I don’t see APC info in the phpinfo file.

This is what I did so far:

[server]$ mkdir src
[server]$ cd src
[server]$ dir
[server]$ wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.0.10.tgz
[server]$ gunzip -c APC-3.0.10.tgz | tar xf –
[server]$ cd APC-3.0.10
[server]$ /home/dreamuser/local/bin/phpize
[server]$ ./configure –enable-apc –enable-apc-mmap –with-php-config=/home/dreamuser/local/bin/php-config
[server]$ make
[server]$ make install
[server]$ cp /home/dreamuser/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/apc.so /home/dreamuser/local/lib

In php.ini, I added the following lines, under Dynamic Extensions:
; APC
extension = “apc.so”
apc.shm_size = 16

I should also define the --with apxs=/path/here option, but I don't know where is located the Apache server on cerritos.
If anyone managed to install it succesfully, please post your steps here.

Thanks.
