As many are aware there is some funkiness trying to get APC caching working with 10.6.2 Server. After running all over the web, I finally generated the needed apc.so using macports.

If you want to save yourself a ton of trouble , you can try the attached apc.so.

Steps to install:

1. Download and unzip.
2. Move to “/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/”
   (Use cli: sudo mv apc.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/) this assumes your are in the folder with apc.so
3. Edit your php.ini file (/etc/php.ini) with the following:
   [APC Cache]
   extension=apc.so
   (***Add additional configuration parameters here***)
4. Save your php.ini and restart the webserver.
5. Browse to your phpinfo file on your webserver and check to see if APC is running.

I hope this saves some of you time. I’m really at a lose to why Apple doesn’t correctly install PEAR/PECL so that developers can make the modifications they need.
