Different ways of installing memcached?

[Chivi Basualdo]

I'd like somebody to explain me the difference between installing memcached for CentOS 7 and installing it from EasyApache4 experimental repo

How to Install Memcached on CentOS 7 – Liquid Web Knowledge Base

yum -y install memcached
memcached -h
systemctl start memcached

MemcacheD in EasyApache4

yum install ea4-experimental
yum install ea-php##-php-memcache
yum install ea-php##-php-memcached

Which is the best way? Why? Why should I install EA4 experimental instead of Liquidweb memcached installation instructions?

Hello,

Support for Memcached in EasyApache 4 is still considered experimental at this time:

MemcacheD in EasyApache4

Per that feature request:

There is no SASL, and no per-user init files, which means it is not considered ready for shared environments.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's not what I asked for.

Hello,

The primary difference is that one method installs Memcached manually, whereas the other method installs it as part of an EasyApache 4 RPM. With the EA4 experimental method, there is no SASL, and no per-user init files, which means it is not considered ready for shared environments.

Thank you.

Sorry for opening an old thread.
Would it cause any issues to install memcached manually until ea4-memcached is stable? Would uninstalling memcached at that time be a bad idea?

You can install it manually for now, then uninstall it once it's no longer experimental and available to install as part of the production EA4 repo. This shouldn't lead to any issues.

Thank you.

Since nobody clarified this previously:

The instructions from LiquidWeb are for installing the Memcached server.
The ea4-experimental instructions are for installing the Memcache/Memcached (two different) PHP Extensions for the EA4 PHP versions.

You need both the Memcached server, and PHP extensions for PHP applications to utilize Memcache.
