We Eat, Drink and Dream – Drupal. And this is exactly what happened when Mr. Drupal walked in to my dreams last night and forced me to share this story with you all.

So, here I go…

“This is my story” ~ DrupalIcon

 

They developed my heart (core) first, ‘exploited’ me, re-engineered me and executed countless projects based on me. Then it struck them, I had no identity (a logo) of sorts.

It took them long but Dries and others managed it in the end. They gave me an identity at last. They called me DrupalIcon and gave me a craftier look. 

On the drawing boards they decided to give me shape of the letter ‘O’, they wanted to conceive me as a drop of water. As everyone brainstormed they came up with an ingenious idea of giving a face to the drop. Steven Wittens and Kristjan Jansen got two sideways drops together representing an infinity symbol and depicted it as if they were placed inside a filled circle. This is how I – The Druplicon as you call me now was born.

“A stylized drop with the "infinity" eyes, a round nose and a mischievous smile”.

APC Installation in Centos5

Thu, 04/28/2011 - 22:00 — a.piyush

Alternative PHP Cache (APC) is a free, open source framework that optimizes PHP intermediate code and caches data and compiled code from the PHP bytecode compiler in shared memory.

APC is now the most maintained free/open source op-code cache, and is being used more and more as it emerges to be the
most stable.

To Install APC There are just few steps:

1. We need the pecl command so we can download and install APC from the repositories.

yum install php-pear

2. But, this will not run on its own, we need the following package for the phpize command:

yum install php-devel

3. We also need the apxs command, which is installed via the following package:

yum install httpd-devel

4. Now we have all the software we need, so we install apc via the pecl command:

pecl install apc     (Just press 'Enter' key if it is asked for)

5. Once that finishes, we need to enable apc in Apache's configuration. the following command should do this for us.

echo "extension=apc.so" > /etc/php.d/apc.ini

6. Then we restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd start

And we are all done.

"Watch for less execution time per page, and decreased memory usage per Apache process compared to what you had before."
