Answer 1

Reinstalling the VPS was for me the only way to solve it.

Answer 2

APC was not built on your machine and it seems you are using an incompatible repository for the binaries. You can do build APC by yourself (download source from http://pecl.php.net/package/APC and compile following http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/apc/trunk/INSTALL?view=markup) or use PECL do do this for you, if you have it installed.

sudo pecl install apc
