Question

I’m trying to integrate Memcached into my Zend Framework website to speed up Ajax calls, but I’m having trouble. I tried initializing it in my bootstrap with this function:

public function _initMemcached(){
    $memcache = new Memcached; 
    $memcache->connect('127.0.0.1', 11211);
    Zend_Registry::set('memcached', $memcache);
}

But this simply throws an error that php can’t find the class. According to the datacenter hosting my site, Memcached should be installed in /root/memcached-1.4.13/, so I tried adding a require_once, and now it’s throwing this error:

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: open_basedir restriction in effect.     File(/root/memcached-1.4.13/Memcached.php) is not within the allowed path(s):

I’ve tried to reset the open_basedir in my bootstrap, but it doesn’t seem to be working. How can I get rid of this error so that I can instantiate a memcached object and get on with my business?

EDIT:

The datacenter tells me that memcached.so is inside /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-###/ but I can’t access it via SSH to confirm. I have the extension_dir in php.ini set to /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-###/ and I have extension=memcached.so but I’m still getting Class not found. Do I have my settings incorrect?

memcached is a php-extension, not a php-script. This means, it must be enabled within php.ini with something like

extension=/root/memcached-1.4.13/memcached.so

or something like that. Find out, how the extension is named.
