Step 1: It is assumed that you already have a Fedora setup with PHP installed. Now first we will install memcached in the system. Then we will change the configurations. So open the terminal and gain the root privilege.
[aneek@localhost ~]$ sudo su
[sudo] password for aneek:
[root@localhost aneek]# yum install memcached
This will create this type of output

Installed:

Complete!
Step 2: Next, we will configure the memcached settings. So to do that again type in
[root@localhost aneek]# vim /etc/sysconfig/memcached
So, this will open the file called memcached as,
PORT="11211"
USER="memcached"
MAXCONN="1024"
CACHESIZE="512"
OPTIONS=""
Step 3: Then we will make the memcached as the system service. So to do that we will issue the following commands.
[root@localhost aneek]# chkconfig memcached on
[root@localhost aneek]# /etc/init.d/memcached start
The first one is the command that will allow memcached to start when the system starts. The second one is the command that will start the demon.
Hopefully this will output as,
Starting memcached (via systemctl): [ OK ]
Step 4: In the next step, issue this command to test the service/demon.
echo stats | nc localhost 11211
This will outoput as,
STAT pid 3353
STAT uptime 11
STAT time 1314808323
STAT version 1.4.5
STAT pointer_size 32
STAT rusage_user 0.000000

END
Step 5: The next step is to allow memcache port in the Firewall. I have the firewall disabled in my PC. But if you have it enabled then issue this command and paste the following line,
[root@localhost aneek]# vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables
#Paste this in iptables file Before COMMIT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 11211 -j ACCEPT
[root@localhost aneek]# service iptables restart
Please note,
Paste this in iptables file Before COMMIT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 11211 -j ACCEPT
Step 6: Now we are in the last stages, install the PHP extension for memcache and memcached. So again open the terminal, and type,
[root@localhost aneek]# yum install php-pecl-memcache
This will output as,

Step 7: Last, we will install the Memcached extension. Type in terminal as,
[root@localhost aneek]# yum install php-pecl-memcached
This will output as,

Step 8: Next we will restart out Apache server to see the effects.
[root@localhost aneek]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Then Create a php file and write the codes in it,
<?php
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
//Can Use 127.0.0.1 instead "localhost"
$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);
?>
If you see it running then it is fine. Now, you can use Memcached in Fedora 15.
