[ixpmanager] Installation failing when installing PHP dependencies

[Mauricio Oviedo]

Hi  Nick, thanks for the information. Even though the problem is now resolved is good to know how to solve it if happens on a future installation.

Best,
Mauricio

Hi Mauricio,

this means that the php cli command isn't loading the memcache.so php extension.  This sort of problem can happen when there's a problem with the PHP installation.

If you see it again, try removing *all* installed php components and reinstalling the application from scratch, e.g.

# dpkg -l | grep php | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt purge -y

Note: don't run this command on a production server unless you understand exactly what it does and how you can get your system back to the state that it was in beforehand.  It may cause damage.
