Installing PHP APC on Windows/Apache

Question

i need help installing and configuring PHP APC i have downloaded from http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ in my PHP info, i see

Compiler MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008) Architecture x86

so i downloaded php_apc-5.3-nts-svn20100226-vc9-x86.zip. then to install, i tried adding

[PHP_APC]
extension=php_apc.dll

to php.ini. restarting Apache fails. trying to execute php in cmd results in an error saying php5.dll is missing. but i doubt so. removing the 2 lines from php.ini fixes the error. how can i install apc then?

Answer 1

i finally managed to install apc with the help from here. i installed on IIS7

added to end of php.ini

[PHP_APC]
extension=php_apc.dll

apc.shm_segments=1
apc.optimization=0
apc.shm_size=128
apc.ttl=7200
apc.user_ttl=7200
apc.num_files_hint=1024
apc.mmap_file_mask=/tmp/apc.XXXXXX
apc.enable_cli=1
