Login into the server as root user.

Download and install the latest stable memcache version from PECL URL.

tar zxvf memcache-2.2.5.tgz
cd memcache-2.2.5
phpize
./configure
make
make install

Once installation completed, make sure that memcache.so is included in the server mains php.ini file.Search the php.ini file

php -i | grep php.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lib
