Question

Just as the title says. I need my memcache.so to put it in the php.ini, but I cannot find it after installing it with package manager yum install memcached.

Anyone please help me.

Thanks

I don’t think memcached RPM includes php extension, or centos doesn’t maintain the extension. You may need to install it manually:

cd /usr/src
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-2.2.6.tgz
tar zxvf memcache-2.2.6.tgz
cd memcache-2.2.6
phpize
./configure
make
make install

If you are using XAMPP(Linux), you need to install xampp-linux-devel and use phpize in /opt/lampp/bin/. If you haven’t installed devel files of Xampp yet, first you need to isntall XAMPP-devel package(expecting your XMAPP version is 1.7.7):

wget http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-linux-devel-1.7.7.tar.gz
mv download.php\?xampp-linux-devel-1.7.7.tar.gz xampp-linux-devel-1.7.7.tar.gz
tar xvfz xampp-linux-devel-1.7.7.tar.gz -C /opt

Then try the same installation but use /opt/lampp/bin/phpize instead of phpize

cd /usr/src
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-2.2.6.tgz
tar zxvf memcache-2.2.6.tgz
cd memcache-2.2.6
/opt/lampp/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/lampp/bin/php-config
make
make install

Hope this helps!
