How to enable memcache in WAMP

Question 1

How to install memcache in WAMP?

I don't find any php_memche in php.ini.

What do I do now?

@Ryan

thanks for your step, now memcache enabled in WAMP, i have cross checked in the PHPINFO as well. memcache is displaying.

i have tried below example memcache sample. but throwing error.

<?php

$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost:8085', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");

$version = $memcache->getVersion();
echo "Server's version: ".$version."<br/>n";

$tmp_object = new stdClass;
$tmp_object->str_attr = 'test';
$tmp_object->int_attr = 123;

$memcache->set('key', $tmp_object, false, 10) or die ("Failed to save data at the server");
echo "Store data in the cache (data will expire in 10 seconds)<br/>n";

$get_result = $memcache->get('key');
echo "Data from the cache:<br/>n";

var_dump($get_result);

?>

Getting below notice error.

( ! ) Notice: Memcache::getversion() [memcache.getversion]: Server localhost:8085 (tcp 11211) failed with: Malformed version string (0) in C:wampwwwmemcachesample.php on line 7

What i missed...

Question 2

Here are the steps that worked for me:

Needed Files

memcached.exe Direct Link
MSVCP71.DLL Windows DLL Files
msvcr71.dll
php_memcache.dll Working memcache for PHP 5.3.4 OR REF

Steps

Copy MSVCP71.DLL, msvcr71.dll to C:windowssysWOW64
Copy memcached.exe into C:memcached
Click Windows-Key
Type: CMD
press: Ctrl-Shift-Enter
Choose yes
type: C:memcachedmemcached.exe -d install
type: C:memcachedmemcached.exe -d start
Copy php_memcache.dll to C:wampbinphpphp5.3.4ext
Restart Apache using Wamp controls
Enable WAMP -> PHP -> PHP Extensions -> php_memcache

Question 3

you can find it in phpinfo() output

create file info.php

<?php
phpinfo();

and call it from web server

Question 4

In PHP5.5.12 opcache is delivered as a zend extension but it is found in the standard ext folder.

You would therefore load it just like any other PHP extension, apart from using the zend_extension rather than extension paramter, so edit your php.ini file using the wampmanager menus to make sure you edit the right file like so :-

wampmanager -> PHP -> php.ini

First check that this parameter is set correctly :

extension_dir = "C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/"

Now where you have loaded the OpCache dll in your example, do it like this and it will be loaded from the default extension folder just like a normal extension= would be :-

zend_extension=php_opcache.dll

You could do it like this :-

zend_extension="C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_opcache.dll"

but there is no need to specify the full path as it is loaded from the standard ext folder.

Warning

If you are still developing you almost definitely don't what this turned on as it won't add any benefit and could add time to a standard compilation, recaching after every code change, and possibly not re-compiling and using the cached code when you don't want it to.

Question 5

See the end of this post for how to do this in WAMPServer 3

For WampServer 2.5 and previous versions

WAMPServer is designed to be a single seat developers tool. Apache is therefore configure by default to only allow access from the PC running the server i.e. localhost or 127.0.0.1 or ::1

But as it is a full version of Apache all you need is a little knowledge of the server you are using.

The simple ( hammer to crack a nut ) way is to use the 'Put Online' wampmanager menu option.

left click wampmanager icon -> Put Online

This however tells Apache it can accept connections from any ip address in the universe. That's not a problem as long as you have not port forwarded port 80 on your router, or never ever will attempt to in the future.

The more sensible way is to edit the httpd.conf file ( again using the wampmanager menu's ) and change the Apache access security manually.

left click wampmanager icon -> Apache -> httpd.conf

This launches the httpd.conf file in notepad.

Look for this section of this file

<Directory "d:/wamp/www">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride All

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
#    Require all granted
#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from all
     Allow from 127.0.0.1
     Allow from ::1
     Allow from localhost
</Directory>

Now assuming your local network subnet uses the address range 192.168.0.?

Add this line after Allow from localhost

Allow from 192.168.0

This will tell Apache that it is allowed to be accessed from any ip address on that subnet. Of course you will need to check that your router is set to use the 192.168.0 range.

This is simply done by entering this command from a command window ipconfig and looking at the line labeled IPv4 Address. you then use the first 3 sections of the address you see in there.

For example if yours looked like this:-

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.11

You would use

Allow from 192.168.2

UPDATE for Apache 2.4 users

Of course if you are using Apache 2.4 the syntax for this has changed.

You should replace ALL of this section :

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
Allow from localhost

With this, using the new Apache 2.4 syntax

Require local
Require ip 192.168.0

You should not just add this into httpd.conf it must be a replace.

For WAMPServer 3 and above

In WAMPServer 3 there is a Virtual Host defined by default. Therefore the above suggestions do not work. You no longer need to make ANY amendments to the httpd.conf file. You should leave it exactly as you find it.

Instead, leave the server OFFLINE as this funtionality is defunct and no longer works, which is why the Online/Offline menu has become optional and turned off by default.

Now you should edit the wampbinapacheapache{version}confextrahttpd-vhosts.conf file. In WAMPServer3.0.6 and above there is actually a menu that will open this file in your editor

left click wampmanager -> Apache -> httpd-vhost.conf

just like the one that has always existsed that edits your httpd.conf file.

It should look like this if you have not added any of your own Virtual Hosts

#
# Virtual Hosts
#

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www
    <Directory  "c:/wamp/www/">
        Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Now simply change the Require parameter to suite your needs EG

If you want to allow access from anywhere replace Require local with

Require all granted

If you want to be more specific and secure and only allow ip addresses within your subnet add access rights like this to allow any PC in your subnet

Require local
Require ip 192.168.1

Or to be even more specific

Require local
Require ip 192.168.1.100
Require ip 192.168.1.101

Question 6

The steps are as follows :

Close WAMP (if running)
Navigate to WAMPbinphp(your version of php)
Edit php.ini
Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
Navigate to WAMPbinApache(your version of apache)bin
Edit php.ini
Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
Save both
Restart WAMP
