Hello

I suggest using the instructions from the thread when installing Memcache:

Memcached Installation

Thank you.

 

[dolomats]

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, since last time I was able to install it .

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately those instructions no longer work, nor can I post the below to that thread.

This no longer works

# # #

So, any clues on why/what the errors are telling us? And how to get memcached to find a memcached.h it likes?

Best,
Michael

(And have someone update Tristan's post with whatever the eventual corrections are.)

Three fails to install memcached:

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

Let us know if the issue persists after running the following command:

yum install cyrus-sasl-devel

Thank you.

Michael, I am also failing to install pecl memcached with the same sasl error. I have been following through Tristan's guide step by step.

I've tried installing cyrus-sasl-devel via yum, as suggested, but this makes no difference when I try to install pecl memcached for php.

If it makes a difference, I installed the latest versions of libevent (2.0.22 stable), memcached (1.4.23) and libmemcached (1.0.18)

I'm running CENTOS 6.6 x86_64 with WHM 11.48.3 (build 0)

 

[cPanelMichael]

Could you verify the exact steps and commands you have taken thus far so we can attempt to reproduce the issue?

Thank you.

Hello,

Please note: EasyApache MemCache is the Apache module rather than the PHP module. We do not list or provide the PHP module there.

When you compile EasyApache with the MemCache Apache module, you end up with it available via Apache only and not via PHP. So here are the steps I just used and this worked.

# cd /root
# 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
# pecl install memcached

Peter,

I am aware of this, perhaps this thread was the wrong choice (based on the opening post), but it seems that Michael-Inet diverted the thread away to an alternative issue. I however, found this thread by googling the error listed by Michael-Inet, of which I have the exact same issue, and have follwed the exact same steps.

"checking for sasl/sasl.h... no
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"


Michael,

I have run through all of the steps in Tristan's post in this thread (https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/memcached-instalation-memcached-so-missing.257942/)

I had no problems downloading, and compiling libevent or memcached (the apache version)

I had no problems creating the 64bit libevent file

I had no problems running ldconfig and starting the memcached server

Installing and building libmemcached went fine.

The only differences between Tristan's post, and what I downloaded/compiled/installed was the versions of the software, I obviously used the most recent versions, rather than the versions that were recent back in feb 2012).

The issue is when installing the PHP Memcached PECL plugin via the "pecl install memcached" command, or using the PECL GUI in WHM.

When I do this, I get the error relating to SASL.

I have installed Cyrus-Sasl-Devel through yum, as suggested in your reply to Michael-Inet, but this has not resolved the issue.

The SASL error still occurs when attempting to install the PECL memcached classes and functions for PHP.

...... oooh! ......

Actually the SASL error is different now.

It's found sasl.h but notes that libmemcached was built without sasl support

"checking whether libmemcached supports sasl... no
configure: error: no, libmemcached sasl support is not enabled. Run configure with --disable-memcached-sasl to disable this check
ERROR: `/root/tmp/pear/memcached/configure --with-libmemcached-dir=no' failed"

I've actually resolved the problem.

Cyrus-sasl-devel needs to be installed before libmemcached is compiled.

running

#cd /path/to/libmemcached src
#make uninstall
#./configure
#make && make install
#pecl install memcached

works for me

Tristans post should be updated to require the installation of SASL prior to the installation of libmemcached

e.g.

Next, install libsasl2

yum install cyrus-sasl-devel

Now, install libmemcached:

cd ~
wget http://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/1.0.4/+download/libmemcached-1.0.4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf libmemcached-1.0.4.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-1.0.4
./configure
make && make install
pecl install memcached

[edit] I also made a post about this in the thread with Tristan's installation guide

 

[cPanelMichael]

I am happy to see you were able to address the issue. Thank you for providing us with the updated steps you took to complete the installation.
