Until dotdeb gets the package done… pecl install apc isn’t smart enough to grab apxs2.

apt-get install php5-dev; # (phpize etc)
apt-get install apache2-dev; #(same reqs deal)
pecl download apc
tar -xvzf APC[tab]; # if you got a smart shell
cd APC[tab];
/usr/bin/phpize5 ;
./configure --enable-apc --enable-apc-mmap --with-apxs2 --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config
make; make install

default config:

  extension=apc.so
  apc.enabled=1
  apc.shm_segments=1
  apc.optimization=0
  apc.shm_size=32
  apc.num_files_hint=500
  apc.mmap_file_mask=/tmp/apc.XXXXXX
  apc.enable_cli=1

set cache default per domain.
