PECL Memcache Module Installation

Time required: 1 minute

1. Either use PECL (and skip to #4 if successful):

   # pecl install memcache

2. Or via compilation. Download the latest stable version and extract:

   # cd /usr/local/src/ && wget http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-2.2.5.tgz && tar -xzf memcache-2.2.5.tgz && cd memcache-2.2.5

3. Now we start to compile:

   # phpize && ./configure && make && make install

4. You can also use the memcache.ini file we prepared for you:

   # cp /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/ini/memcache.ini /etc/php.d/

5. Finally restart apache:

   # /etc/init.d/httpd restart

6. You’re done! Memcache should now be available. If the following command retuns anything, you’re all set:

   # php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep 'memcache'
