In this tutorial we’ll install Memcached and Redis PHP Extensions with Php Selector 5.6/7.0/7.1/7.2 on CWP. CWP have some nice php extensions implemented for php switcher like memcached and redis etc. Today I’ll going to show you how to do that with php selector.

This tutorial was requested by “TN”

Lets Get started :

First Install your desired php version from php selector after that we’ll be doing installations for memcached and redis with php extensions :-

First install remi repo (skip if you’ve already installed it or using memcached and redis with php switcher) :

CentOS 8

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

CentOS 7

wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm

CentOS 6

wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-6.rpm

Memcached :

Free & open source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.

Install memcached :

yum -y --enablerepo=remi,remi install memcached

Start memcached Service :

service memcached start

Start the memcached on boot :
Centos 6 :

chkconfig memcached on

Centos 7 :

systemctl enable memcached

Install php memcached extension :

Now We’ll Build and install PHP MEMCACHED on php 7.xx (official) :

cd /usr/local/src
rm -rf memcached*
curl https://pecl.php.net/get/memcached -o memcached.tgz
tar -xf memcached.tgz
cd memcached-*
/opt/alt/phpvv/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/phpvv/usr/bin/php-config
make
make install

If you get SASL error then we need disable sasl flag added to the config:

cd /usr/local/src
rm -rf memcached*
curl https://pecl.php.net/get/memcached -o memcached.tgz
tar -xf memcached.tgz
cd memcached-*
/opt/alt/phpvv/usr/bin/phpize 
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/phpvv/usr/bin/php-config --disable-memcached-sasl
make
make install

Replace red higlighted config with :

For php selector version :

php 7.0

/opt/alt/php70/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php70/usr/bin/php-config

php 7.1

/opt/alt/php71/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php71/usr/bin/php-config

php 7.2

/opt/alt/php72/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php72/usr/bin/php-config

php 7.3

/opt/alt/php73/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php73/usr/bin/php-config

php 7.4

/opt/alt/php74/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php74/usr/bin/php-config

Add this line to php.ini navigate to php selector >> Edit php.ini

(under the php version you installed memcached php )

extension=memcached.so

**if you’re using custom php.ini add this line to it also

For php 5.6 php memcache :

git clone https://git.php.net/repository/pecl/caching/memcache.git
cd memcache
make clean
/opt/alt/php56/usr/bin/phpize 
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php56/usr/bin/php-config
make
make install

Add this line to php.ini navigate to php selector >> Edit php.ini

(under the php version you installed memcache php )

extension=memcache.so

**if you’re using custom php.ini add this line to it also

Redis

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker. It supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes with radius queries.

yum install redis

Start Redis Service :

service redis start

Start the Redis on boot :
Centos 6 :

chkconfig redis on

Centos 7/8 :

systemctl enable redis

cd /root
git clone https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis.git
cd phpredis
make clean
/opt/alt/phpVV/usr/bin/phpize 
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php70/usr/bin/php-config
make
make install

Replace red higlighted config with :

For php selector version :

php 5.6

/opt/alt/php56/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php56/usr/bin/php-config

php 7.0

/opt/alt/php70/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php70/usr/bin/php-config

./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php73/usr/bin/php-config

php 7.4

/opt/alt/php74/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/alt/php74/usr/bin/php-config

Add this line to php.ini navigate to php selector >> Edit php.ini

(under the php version you installed redis php )
