How do I upgrade APC on Zend Community Server (needed for Symfony2)?

I am running latest Zend Community Server and want to learn Symfony2 but the config.php gives me an error that my APC (alternative php cache) is deprecated and I have to upgrade it.

I'm running OS X Lion and already found the zend folder in:

    /usr/local/zend/

I also downloaded the source package (3.1.9 stable) from http://pecl.php.net but have no idea how to compile it or where to put it.

Solution

  • I tested my previously posted (and now deleted) configuration a few times and had to withdraw the guide. The make test command returned a bunch of errors. The reason among other things is that Zend has their own bytecode in some extensions (like APC!).

    I dumped Zend Server CE and switched to MAMP after all. Give my working guide on how to correctly set up Symfony 2 on MAMP a shot: Click here.
