Integrating APC (Alternative PHP Cache) Into PHP5 (Debian Etch & Apache2) This guide explains how to integrate APC (Alternative PHP Cache) into PHP5 on a Debian Etch system (with Apache2). APC is a free and open PHP opcode cacher for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code. It's similar to other PHP opcode cachers, such as eAccelerator and XCache.

The above mentioned install procedure is the only way to install APC on Etch. The php-apc is available on Lenny.
thx a lot for this short tutorial :-) it works :-)
I've found the harder way that using 'pecl install apc' is not a good way on my Debian system. The reason is that as soon as I update my apache or php packages, the apc is not up to date with the rest of the system and can cause a lot of headache as it did for me.
On a Debian system in production the best way is to maintain a clean apt install by installing apc the following way:
apt-get install php-apc
This way all the dependencies will be taken care of on the next package update and the consistency is much better.
Wonderful, it saved my time.
Is there a boost for Magento-Shops after installing APC?
Great tutorial. I've been struggling with APC for a few hours and once I found this article it worked immediately without problems. Thanks!
If you receive errors when installing apc you may need to install libpcre3-dev .
In my tests, it is best for PHP version 5.4.x Thanks!
