PHP Warning: Memcache::set(): Failed to extract ‘connection’ variable

By jon On April 16, 2008 · 3 Comments

I got this today. Solved by restarting the Memcached server. Move along.

Edit: this is actually a reoccurring bug we’re seeing with the memcache 2.2.3 stable build on 2 different boxes
2nd Edit: Actually it was a bug in my code. I wasn’t setting the server and ip correctly, there was a typo in my configuration

If you find out what this means for real, please let me know.

We’re getting the same thing…

I actually had the wrong server info put into the memcache connection. Make sure you’re using a real ip and port and didn’t have a type like me

It turns out that if you have the right IP/port, BUT the memcached servers are refusing connections, well, you still end up in this same boat.
