PHP only loads extension if apc.so is located in my www folder

Question

This is pretty strange situation I am getting.

I have installed apc (with ./configure and make) on my LAMP gentoo with PHP 5.2.

To get apc loaded i need to place apc.so in my www php directory otherwise it just don't get loaded.

I don't even any idea of this, if you have even only tips please post an answer.

If you need the full series of command it's here: Failed installing APC?

Answer 1

check the extensions_path variable in your php.ini. This defines where php will look for extensions.Gentoo might require you modify one of the include files

Answer 2

The best thing for you to do would be to remove all of the work you've done by hand on your Gentoo system, and install Apache, PHP, and APC through the Gentoo way: using Portage.
