server24# make install
After installing, i have edited /usr/local/etc/php.ini and added following entry
apc.enabled=”1″
apc.shm_size=”30″
apc.shm_size=”30″
Everything works fine, in phpinfo, i got a section saying

Some thing wrong with APC, so i uninstalled it
server24# cd /usr/ports/www/pecl-APC
server24# make deinstall
server24# make deinstall
Then edited /usr/local/etc/php.ini and removed following lines.
apc.enabled=”1″
apc.shm_size=”30″
apc.shm_size=”30″
I have been using eaccelerator with out any problem on my other servers, so have installed it, lets see if Apache have any problem with it.
