Hi, I try your guide to activate Memcache on moodle, but moodle cannot activate the plugin. Turns out I must do: "yum install php-pecl-memcached"(with "d"), while the guide only mention "yum install php-pecl-memcache" (without "d"). I think it's because when I try it, moodle 3.8 uses the newer version. nevertheless, moodle docs (https://docs.moodle.org/38/en/Caching) links to this page and I think you should know. OS: Centos 7, apache, php-fpm, and moodle 3.8.1. overall, thanks for the guide.

In reply to Orazio.

@Orazio,

Please install Memcached PHP extension to work with Memcached daemon.

# yum install php-pecl-memcache

Hi Ravi, I followed this fantastic guide and installed memcache. Now on my server, if I test it from the console, memcache is installed, but if i try from PHP info it is not installed. I need to speed up Prestashop but even from the control panel of Prestashop Memcache it is not seen. What am I doing wrong?

Nicely explained. Why some prefer CentOS over Debian? To me, Debian has been really easy to setup. It was also really easy to configure Memcached with PHP on Debian. Do you think it is because of performance or maybe security?
