Need help installing Memcached

[Oluwatosin]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to install memcached on my server through the WHM/Cpanel interface, been able to correctly follow the steps over here

- Removed -

But it always end up with this error.

WARNING: channel "pecl.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pecl.php.net" to update
pecl/memcached can optionally use PHP extension "igbinary" (version >= 2.0)
pecl/memcached can optionally use PHP extension "msgpack" (version >= 2.0)

..................done: 77,310 bytes
15 source files, building
running: phpize
sh: phpize: command not found
ERROR: `phpize' failed

One major challenge is I don't even know how to interpret this error. I have googled and also checked Stackoverflow but none of the solutions suggested seem to work. Would appreciate assistance on this.

Thank you

Are you using EA4 php in cloudlinux?

If yes try:
/opt/cpanel/ea-phpXX/root/usr/bin/pecl install memcached

where XX is the php version number

Yes, I am on EA4 php and cloudlinux, I just ran the command and here is what I got

This is why:

sh: phpize: command not found


Use this:

cPanel EasyApache 4 Installing Redis and Redis PHP extension

however instead of Redis download memcached packages

https://pecl.php.net/get/memcache
https://pecl.php.net/get/memcached

you also need to install the daemon:

yum clean all
yum -y install memcached
chkconfig memcached on
service memcached start

* Check new post

So that didn't work all that well, not sure if you saw my previous post before the edit, please use:

for phpver in for phpver in $(ls -1 /opt/cpanel/ |grep ea-php | sed 's/ea-php//g') ; do
cd ~
wget -O memcache.zip wget https://github.com/websupport-sk/pecl-memcache/archive/NON_BLOCKING_IO_php7.zip
unzip memcache.zip
cd ~/pecl-memcache-* || exit
/opt/cpanel/ea-php"$phpver"/root/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php"$phpver"/root/usr/bin/php-config
make && make install
echo 'extension=memcache.so' > /opt/cpanel/ea-php"$phpver"/root/etc/php.d/memcache.ini
rm -rf ~/pecl-memcache-*
done

root@server [/]# for phpver in $(ls -1 /opt/cpanel/ |grep ea-php | sed 's/ea-php//g') ; do echo "PHP $phpver" ; /opt/cpanel/ea-php$phpver/root/usr/bin/php -i |grep "memcache support"; done

Hello,

Are you attempting to install the memcached PHP extension with CloudLinux and PHP Selector? If so, note that memcached is part of the alt-php package with CloudLinux. You can browse to "WHM >> LVE Manager", choose the "Selector" tab, and ensure "memcache" and "memcached" are enabled for the versions of PHP you want it installed on.

Thank you.

Hi @cPanelMichael Back again ;-)

Since I am adding every module/option possible-my server will be so fast and secure in the end, that eventually I can't login or visit a webpage via the Tim Berners Lee route-I would like to use memcache and memcached too.

Just to confirm:
My VPS is running Cl with mod_lsapi, cageFS and so on. Is it just a matter of indeed choosing/installing the CL alt-php versions and I get the memcache(d) modules installed?

From my limited knowledge I understand that @Jcats wget commands downloads alternative versions for php7.x, developed by a Slovakian hosting company, that enables memcache(d) to work with php7.x.

I can always copy/paste it and see into what rabbithole this sucks me, but since I just won a month's free VPS hosting from my provider after winning the most laughed at error log files in the office award, I feel honoured, but at the same time became a bit more conservative in my workflow.

Thanks again in advance for helping me out.

Hello,

Yes, as long as you've already installed and setup the Memcached daemon on the server, you should be able to simply enable those PHP extensions by browsing to "WHM >> LVE Manager", choosing the "Selector" tab, and ensuring "memcache" and "memcached" are enabled for the versions of PHP you want it installed on. The following document is useful when using mod_lsapi:

CloudLinux Documentation

It provides some basic information about how it works, and includes a FAQ section to help answer common questions.

Thank you.
