Memcached issue with WHM

    So after doing the installation steps and coping the obj file to wp-content the website was braking with the error message something about cannot find memcache.
    WHM (cpanel) supports both memcache and memcached but has dropped support for memcache. Please note that memcached is supposedly better. So I did not have memcache installed. Only memcached. And I had the critical error.

    After installing memcache (along memcached) the error gone.
    I am pretty sure the plugin is using the memcached but for some reason it wants also memcache also installed.

    Hi,

    > Please note that memcached is supposedly better.

    I could agree with newer or better maintained. The APIs for these 2 extensions are different. It would require a pretty big rewrite to make this one work with memcached instead of memcache.

    > I am pretty sure the plugin is using the memcached but for some reason it wants also memcache also installed.

    This is not correct. It is using the memcache extension.

    Glad you made it work!

    oh boi! Then maybe you should rename the extension to memcache or state that it works with memcache only instead of memcached 😀
    I bet 90% of the error reporting is because people are using memcached 😀
    Dunno why they have so similar names.
    Anyway, thank you for the plugin and your work 🙂

    The back end is memcached. The PHP extension is memcache. I agree there’s confusion, but it’s in the installation section.

    But you’re right. Most of the confusion is either memcache/memcached or people not reading Installation and activating the plugin. 🙂

    Maybe @orloxgr can help you, since he managed to install the extension on WHM.
