PHP Fatal error: Class ‘Memcache’ not found in

PHP Fatal error: Class ‘Memcache’ not found in

This is the general PHP error that occurs in the website when the Memcache module is missing. Thinking to install memcache via easy apache. Really it is a bad idea.

I too tried to install memcache module via easyapache. Every time in the easy apache it shows the memcache is enables. However, once the the compiling is complete, memcache module is not compiled in the php.

What is the solution for this error "PHP Fatal error: Class ‘Memcache’ not found in '/home/user/hemanth/php.ini' ?

The only solution is to compile memcache module via source and add the link in the php.ini. Just follow the steps below to compile memcache module in the server.


Step 1 – Download memcache



mkdir repo
cd repo
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-3.0.6.tgz
tar -xvfz memcache-3.0.6.tgz



Step 2 – Compilation & installation

cd memcache-3.0.6
phpize
you should see something like this;

Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20041225
Zend Module Api No: 20060613
Zend Extension Api No: 220060519

./configure
make
make install


Step 3 – Load in php.ini
Enable memcache in php.ini.

echo "extension=memcache.so" >> /usr/local/lib/php.ini
service httpd restart

This is how it will look like when you try to install the Memcache in the cPanel.
