Alternative PHP Cache (APC) is a free and open opcode cache. It provides open and robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code.
For this Fedora 9 apc installation, /var/www/html is used as the main html folder for http://server.domain.com.
If installed, uninstall eaccelerator first before installing Alternative PHP Cache as APC may conflict with eaccelerator.
