I just bought my webserver with iweb and to be quite honest, I don't know how to setup a dedicated webserver properly.

I have been able to install httpd, php, mysql but it doesn't seem complete. Also, if I want to install the latest versions of php 5.3.6 using yum commands, how do I do that. 

I need help with
->Installing php 5.3.6 along with apc
->Make sure it is compatible with the rest of the configuration

Other php, httpd config to speed up the php. I was gonna ask how to setup nginx as proxy server, but I thought it would be better as a separate question.

Don't you mean php 5.3.6? – Sgaduuw Aug 3 '11 at 14:34

Here you go:

yum install php53 php53-mysql php-pear gcc

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.1.9.tgz

tar zxf APC-3.1.9.tgz

cd APC-3.1.9;phpize

./configure --enable-apc

make && make install

Add APC Stanza to /etc/php.ini:

; APC Settings
extension= "apc.so"
apc.enabled=1
apc.shm_segments=1
apc.optimization=0
apc.shm_size=64M

service httpd restart

HTH, but if you couldn't find this online you're probably in for a tough time administering this server...

@Kuldeep I don't really have any bookmarks per se. A big part of systems administration is just slogging through (sometimes poor/misleading) online documentation and testing/altering for your particular environment. After many years you get a feel for what you should do even if the docs say something else. I'm afraid there's no magic bullet. – HTTP500 Aug 3 '11 at 17:11
@Kuldeep Post a different question for your php-common issue – HTTP500 Aug 3 '11 at 17:28
