How-To: Install Memcache on CentOS (WHM/cPanel)

Without wasting much time, Let us get started!

Follow these simple instructions:

• Step 1: Login into your WHM panel and using easyapache enable Memcache

• Step 2: SSH into your server and fire this command yum install memcached.x86_64 php-pecl-memcache.x86_64

• Step 3: Go to Software -> Module Installers -> PHP Pecl, Search for memcache and then install both memcache & memcached

• Step 4: Restart apache once, Fire: service httpd restart

• Step 5: Start memcache by firing this command: memcached -d -m 512 -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211 -u nobody (d = daemon, m = memory, u = user, l = IP to listen to, p = port)

• Step 6: Check your memcached server is running successfully: ps -eaf | grep memcached

All Done! If everything goes good, You should now be able to use memcached within your application.

Enjoy Caching :)

Memcache isn't available on EasyApache, but it worked perfectly. Thanks!

How will this restart memcached if/when the server is rebooted?

use: chkconfig memcached on

Works a charm. I was struggling to install it all via ssh - I'm running Apache 2.4 with PHP 5.5 and majority of the instructions online are pretty much outdated. Thanks for sharing!

That said - it worked fine with the first server, but now I get:

configure: error: no, sasl.h is not available. Run configure with --disable-memcached-sasl to disable this check
ERROR: `/root/tmp/pear/memcached/configure --with-libmemcached-dir=no' failed
The memcached.so object is not in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212

when trying to install memcached.

Any idea?

i have the same issue @sebastiansulinski
any update ?.. Have you solved the issue yet!

thanks

Anyone have any tips on how to get Memcached working when using EasyApache4 Beta

Unfortunately, I am having the same problems @sebastiansulinski

Any ideas?

@dalenoe Try with these steps and it should work fine.

Step 1 - Install SASL:
yum install cyrus-sasl-devel

Step 2 - Compile libmemcached with SASL installed:

cd ~
wget https://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/1.0.18/+download/libmemcached-1.0.18.tar.gz
tar -zxvf libmemcached-1.0.18.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-1.0.18
./configure
make && make install

Step 3 - Install PHP Memcached:

pecl install memcached

Hello.

Do you have any idea how to install PHP Memcache in EasyApache 4 for PHP 7? It works for PHP 6.

I see the option to enable Memcache for PHP 7.1 in EasyApache 4. Enabled it on my server and it's working.
