The install instructions for memcache are not really up-to date. How do I install on Debian using php-fpm and nginx?
I tried this:
apt install memcache zlib1g-dev php-dev
pecl install memcache
This will install the extension into
/usr/lib/php/20220829/memcache.so
So I added
echo extension = memcache.so>>/etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini
Then restarted
service php8.1-fpm restart
Now I want to install the "Memcached Object Cache" Wordpress Plugin, but the [plugin-website](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/#installation) just sais:
> 1. Install memcached on at least one server. Note the connection info. The default is 127.0.0.1:11211.
>
> 1. Install the PECL memcache extension
>
> 1. Copy
object-cache.php
to wp-content
>
> 1. Add the WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT constant to the wp-config.php:

> define( 'WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT', '...long random string...' );
I cannot find object-cache.php
anywhere.

The problem is, that phpize will use php8.2 to compile the extension. but if I uninstall php8.2, I also uninstall php-dev. If I reinstall it, it will try to install php8.2 again ;(
How do I solve this?
