Ansible Role: PHP-Memcached

This role helps you install support for PHP Memcached on systems like RedHat, CentOS, Debian, and Ubuntu.

Requirements

You don't need to have Memcached installed for this role to work, but it won’t be very useful unless you have Memcached running somewhere (either on the same server or a different one). If you need a simple way to set up Memcached, check out geerlingguy.memcached.

Role Variables

Here are the available variables and their default values (see defaults/main.yml):

• php_enablerepo: ""

  (Only for RedHat/CentOS) If you have extra repositories enabled (like geerlingguy.repo-epel or geerlingguy.repo-remi), you can list them here (e.g., remi,epel). This is useful if you want the latest version of PHP from Remi's repository.

• php_memcached_package: php-memcached

  This is the package used for PHP Memcached support. For Debian/Ubuntu with PHP 5.x, you should use php5-memcached.

Dependencies

• geerlingguy.php

Example Playbook
