memcache(d) does not work on ubuntu 13.10

Question

I'm trying to use memcache on my apache. (Xubuntu 13.10) I installed Apache 2.4, Php5, Mysql5, php pear etc like here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-use-memcache-on-ubuntu-12-04

php -m

ps aux

root@benjamin:~# ps aux | grep memcached
www-data 16113  0.0  0.0 325400   916 ?        Ssl  12:10   0:00 memcached -d -m 128 -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211 -vv -u www-data

and sample php code that i use

<?php 
  $memcache = new Memcache;
  $memcache->connect("localhost",11211); # You might need to set "localhost" to "127.0.0.1"
  echo "Server's version: " . $memcache->getVersion() . "<br />\n";
  $tmp_object = new stdClass;
  /*
  $tmp_object->str_attr = "test";
  $tmp_object->int_attr = 123;
  $memcache->set("key",$tmp_object,false,50);
  */
  $stat = $memcache->getExtendedStats();
  echo "Store data in the cache (data will expire in 10 seconds)<br />\n";
  echo "<pre>";
  print_r($stat);

   echo "Data from the cache:<br />\n";

  print_r($memcache->get("key"));

?>

Problem is, nothing happens. Totally white page. How can i achive this? P.S : I also tried to connect 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

Update, I configured php.ini and I can get error now.

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/www/memcache.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in Unknown on line 0

Hej bencagri,

make sure you have installed php5-memcache, (php5-memcached if you areon debian).

create a phpinfo.php file and write

<?php
 echo phpinfo();
?>

and have memcache, if you can't find anything, you'll have to

sudo a2enmod mem_cache

module in apache2.

restart your apache and try again.
