I don't know it is the right place to ask this question but still for me it is the best place to ask question so i am asking this
"My Aim is to install alternative php cache (apc) on my website (hosted by dreamhost) "
My problem is it is not installing by following the wiki http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Pecl_APC .That wiki clearly specified that i need to run a custom php install in order to install APC but whyy?? isn't there a way to install APC in existing php version .My site uses php 5.2.17. Please help me i am stuck into this from a very long time now.The dreamhost wiki is not helpful at all i need answer from someone who has installed APC on their server please help
thanks in advance
I guess you need to install a custom PHP because APC is a plugin that to configure needs compiling with PHP. So I guess dream host do not want to give you access to the default installation.
Did you try installing the custom PHP?
What error have you come across?
