php extensions and shared hosting

Question

I'm on shared hosting and I'm trying to set up the memcached.so module to be used for php. Obviously I'm not able to put the .so file in /usr/lib64/php/modules so for my extension_dir value in my version of the php.ini (/home2/my_site/public_html/php.ini)I have:

extension_dir = "/usr/lib64/php/modules:/home2/my_site/apps/lib/php"

and at the bottom of the php.ini file I have

extension=memcache.so

However, the memcache module still isn't showing up in php_info(). Any suggestions on getting this working? Thanks.

Stupid question, but has the apache instance been restarted? (or PHP CGI if compiled like that) If so, what are the errors in apache logs? — Pierre-Yves Gillier, Jul 08 '10 at 10:25

I think you have to restart apache server to take its effect.

/etc/init.d/apachectl restart
