Please note that this article is considered legacy documentation because Fedora 20 has reached its end-of-life support.
Pre-Flight Check
- These instructions are intended specifically for installing the Memcached PHP Extension on a single Fedora 20 node.
- I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.
- Follow our tutorial on How to Install Memcached on Fedora 20 prior to this KB!
- Apache and PHP must be installed.
Step #1: Install Memcached PHP Extension
First, clean-up yum:
yum clean all
As a matter of best practice we’ll update our packages:
yum -y update
Then installing PHP Memcached extension and related packages is now as simple as running just one command::
yum -y install php-pecl-memcache
Step #2: Verify Installation
Restart memcached and httpd:
systemctl restart memcached
systemctl restart httpd
Use the following command to view information on the installed PHP modules:
php -m | grep memcache
And look for a response similar to:
memcache
You can also verify the configuration of PHP with phpinfo. Follow our tutorial: How To: Check PHP Modules With phpinfo
