Try removing the APC module from your PHP setup (grep for apc.so in any 
of your php.ini files anywhere). I can't remember which OS you are 
using, sorry, and the file locations do vary. Somewhere there will be a 
line like
     extension=apc.so
and you wan't to remove that. Or else 'rpm -e php52-apc' or 'apt-get 
remove php-apc' or something like that.
Then restart Apache.
