Yum up some packages:

yum install php-pear php-devel httpd-devel

Install APC using pear (the pear installer is smarter than the pecl installer):

pear install pecl/apc

Tell PHP to load APC:

echo extension=apc.so > /etc/php.d/apc.ini

Restart Apache:

/sbin/service httpd graceful

At work I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but my personal stuff is served from machines running CentOS. Both distros were just bumped to version 5, bringing with them support for current components of the LAMP stack.
I care because I want Apache 2.2.4, and while it’s pretty easy to get MySQL & PHP 5 on [...]
