I'm looking for updated instructions for installing memcached on EA4 and PHP7.2. So far I keep running into really old posts here dating back to 2011 in some cases. I'm looking for 2018 information. Being I've found the Memcached PECL file supports PHP 7.2 but it just creates a long string of errors in WHM attempting to install.

Doesn't answer my question. I'm looking to install Memcached with PHP 7.2. That link doesn't allow PHP7.2 installs. Here is the PECL page and its stable for PHP 7.2. So how do you install this? PECL :: Package :: memcached :: 3.0.4

Hello, The EA4 experimental repo does not support the use of memcache/memcached with PHP 7.2 at this time. Have you tried the manual installation instructions on Thank you.

Ok. I finally made it out the other side and got it installed. The old article is barely enough to get it installed and working. Really have to watch the php version numbers in the path. Then you have to make sure to install igbinary. Again the key is watching the versions of software and php version in the path. It would really be helpful if you had an update on that forum post.

Hello, I've updated the initial post in that thread to include PHP 7.2 instructions under the previously provided workaround section. Thank you.

Hey guys, For anyone else trying to install Memcache on 7.2 I found this guide very helpful. Tested on my server running CloudLinux, WHM76 and EasyApache4: grepitout.com/install-memcache-cpanel-server/

I recently installed the PHP Memcached extension in PHP 7.2. I also installed igbinary and msgpack (both optional) first by using WHM's PECL Installer, making sure to select "ea-php72" first. 1. Download latest memcached (PHP) from : ./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/php-config --with-libmemcached-dir=no --with-zlib-dir=no --with-system-fastlz=no --enable-memcached-igbinary=yes --enable-memcached-msgpack=yes --enable-memcached-json=no --enable-memcached-protocol=no --enable-memcached-sasl=yes --enable-memcached-session=yes --disable-memcached-sasl
6. Run "make". Should return the message "Libraries have been installed in: /downloads/memcached/memcached-3.1.3/modules" 7. All we need is the "memcached.so" module which is in a subfolder called "modules" and needs to be copied to /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/lib64/php/modules. 8. Add these lines to the 7.2 php.ini version using the editor, checking first that they actually do exist! extension=igbinary.so extension=msgpack.so extension=memcached.so 9. Restart Apache and you should be able to see the Memcached extension when you run phpinfo().

I love having options! WHM/cPanel also released Redis php module in PECL. I decided to run Redis rather than Memcache for PHP 7.3. Thanks cPanel!

Any update on this? It seems like it's been at least a year before the last update on this topic... and Memcached is still not available in regular EasyApache4.
