How to install memchache module on Mac OS X 10.9 running MAMP (or Apache)

install_memcache_on_mac_osx.sh

# 1. Install brew (http://brew.sh/)

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

# 2. Drop php_info() into the home directory of your MAMP-run site and find out your PHP version. Mine was 5.6.2.

# 3. Install appropriate version of memcache using Brew (also install memcache just in case):

brew install memcache
brew install php56-memcache

# 4. Brew will tell you something like this:
# To finish installing memcache for PHP 5.6:
# * /usr/local/etc/php/5.6/conf.d/ext-memcache.ini was created,

# 5. Look at the ext-memcache.ini (with less or whatever) and find out location of memcache.so

# 6. Copy memcache.so to your MAMP's extensions directory:

cp memcache.so /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

# 7. Add reference to the module to your php.ini (make sure the PHP version in the folder name is the same as the one from #2 above).

emacs /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/conf/php.ini # add line: extension=memcache.so
# If using Apache2:
sudo emacs /etc/php.ini # add line: extension=memcache.so

# 8. Restart your MAMP server (or your Apache). Refresh page from #2 above, make sure you can now find 'memcache' somewhere on that page.
