APC is a caching module for PHP that can really speed up the serving of pages for logged-in users in Drupal. I found this article in setting it up and found it pretty clear and accurate:
http://www.tipsandtutorials.net/centos-6-install-apc.html
Here’s what I did to get it up and running:
Run this command:
yum install php-pear php-devel httpd-devel pcre-devel gcc make
then
pecl install apc
(I answered default no/yes to all questions asked during the install process)
then make sure that this is the only line in /etc/php.d/apc.ini:
extension=apc.so
Restart Apache:
service httpd restart
Done!
