Centos 6 seems to be quite a bit behind RedHat. A test web server we set 
up using Centos 6 gave us a few problems. Maybe now it's better.

Using sendmail instead of postfix. Not an issue using sendmail here.

Does this mean I should add them? I thought I was supposed to change 
them, but they weren't in the file, either php.ini or apc.ini?

I ran into one more problem that I forgot to mention in the original 
post. In the "Set Permissions For Virus Scanning" section on the 
website, the "chgrp clamav" line did not work because there is no group 
"clamav" on my system. Not sure if I missed an RPM, but "clam" does 
exist so I used "clam" which does exist. There's a user and group 
"clam"; no "clamav" anywhere.

So, to be sure I understand you, I can use the php52 or php53 rpms with 
rebuilding php.

Thanks,

steve
