Error: php memcached session not working

What's Causing This Error

The error 'php memcached session not working' occurs when there is an issue with the integration of the Memcached extension with PHP sessions. The error can be caused by a misconfiguration in the Memcached extension, a problem with the PHP configuration or a bug within the Memcached extension itself.

One common cause of this error is that the Memcached extension is not properly installed or enabled on the server. Another potential cause is that there is a mismatch between the version of the Memcached extension and the version of PHP being used. Additionally, if the Memcached extension is not configured to work with PHP sessions, this can also cause the error.

Solution - Here's How To Resolve It

To resolve the 'php memcached session not working' error, there are several possible solutions. First, ensure that the Memcached extension is properly installed and enabled on the server. Check that the version of the Memcached extension matches the version of PHP being used.

If the Memcached extension is properly installed and enabled, check the configuration of both the Memcached extension and PHP to ensure that they are correctly set up to work together. This may involve editing the php.ini file or modifying the configuration of the Memcached extension.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, try updating the Memcached extension to the latest version or seeking assistance from the Memcached community to diagnose any known bugs. Finally, consider using an alternative caching solution such as Redis, which may better suit your needs.
