Install PHP APC module

[bhogsett]

Does anyone know if, and how, to install the php APC module? APC is a cache module.

Thanks

I looked into installing eAccelerator once, but it failed.

Understandably, installing these applications requires directory access that the shared server environment will not allow you to access. I don't expect being able to install APC for the same reason.

There may be ways of getting around this, but I have found none so far. However, it would be great if HostMonster installed them on servers. It may greatly reduce the load that certain heavy-query websites have on the servers and any lateral performance impacts.

Thanks.

I have opened a ticket asking about installing the APC module and the Zend web application server and will report what I learn.

You aren't going to get any traction with Zend server kind of stuff and likely not APC (it is a pain to compile even with root on CentOS). You might want to look at Xcache for opcode caching, http://rk.md/2009/xcache-bluehost/ gives a pretty good run-down on how to install it on your account without any server-level intervention.
