Im looking for a tutorial to install and configure APC on CentOS 7. I see there is one for Ubuntu but not for CentOS.

Hi @riahc4
Do you mean APC as in the PHP module? If yes, then it's been replaced by OPcache, which is many times faster. OPcache is available from 5.6 and activated by default from 7.0

    The issue is that I am running a old version of a CMS and it used APC. Im not sure if OPcache is compatible.

      Then you need to install an old version of PHP, which would be a security issue, so that isn't recommended.
      What's the recommended version of PHP as noted by the CMS release notes?

      But is APC required by the CMS? I would think it's a feature, not a requirement.
      I think there's a module called APCu, which is supported by PHP7+, but I actually don't know if it's a replacement for APC or some other functionality.

      By the way, which CMS is it, if you are allowed to tell?
