Succesfully got memcached running and can get its contents. Now I get an error when I run composer update.

Memcached is properly installed and running. I can retrieve any contents I store - I can see it's running and interact via CLI as well.

However, running composer update I get:

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]  
  Class 'Memcached' not found

I tried removing CACHE_DRIVER in my .env file and leaving it set to memcached in my config/cache.php file.

Like I said, memcached works and I can interact with it on my application. But running composer update now results in the error above.

This is how I installed memcached so it may have something to do with the problem:

sudo apt-get install memcached

sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf libc-dev pkg-config
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libmemcached-dev
sudo pecl7.1-sp install memcached

Create a configuration file for the extension and restart PHP

sudo bash -c "echo extension=memcached.so > /etc/php7.1-sp/conf.d/memcached.ini"
sudo service php7.X-fpm-sp restart

Again THIS WORKS and memcached is working correctly within Laravel. When I run composer update now it spits out the error:

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]  
  Class 'Memcached' not found

Fixed. If anybody is reading this and using Serverpilot to manage their server... you need to also change what version of php composer is using.

Use this for reference: https://serverpilot.io/community/articles/how-to-change-the-version-of-the-php-command.html
