PHP Memcache module is compiling with different module (debian)

Question

I've downloaded memcache-2.2.6 and when i run:

phpize && ./configure --enable-memcache && make

I get:

Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:         20090626
Zend Module Api No:      20090626
Zend Extension Api No:   220090626

This is correct but after configure, make and adding the module to php.ini i get:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: memcache: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20060613
PHP    compiled with module API=20090626

Edit: The php its not from the debian package, its a manually php 5.3.8 install

Thanks

Answer 1

It looks like using pecl install memcache installed the correct memcache module version.

Answer 2

why not just apt-get install php5-memcache or apt-get install php5-memcached (or both) depending on whether you need memcache or memcached and not bother with compiling?

Answer 3

If you cannot use pecl, you can also specify the proper path to your php config in the ./configure command (use if you have multiple versions of php installed.)

./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php53/bin/php-config
