I am an absolute newbie…didn't learn about SSh till an hour ago and got my first VPS 2 hours ago. Still learning!

So I'm installing MediaWiki and need to add APC extension. But having a lil trouble. Any ideas/tips?

Remove noexec flag from /var/tmp directory use the following command 

mount -o remount,exec /var/tmp/

You can use the same command to add the noexec flag back 

mount -o remount,noexec /var/tmp/
