To test if it's working on your server / not. Run the following:

php -i | grep memcache


You should see

# php -i | grep memcache
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: memcache: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0
PHP    compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0
/etc/php.d/memcache.ini,


The versions are different to the ones that is compatible

First install libevent (remove first if exists)
yum install libevent


Second install memcached (remove first if exists)
yum install memcached


Uncomment the extension inclusion in memcache.ini (on red hat it's in the following folder)
vi /etc/php.d/memcache.ini


Now your memcache.ini should look like this
; Enable mbstring extension module
extension=memcache.so



Restart Apache and that should be it
/etc/init.d/httpd restart



-- IF THAT STILL DOES NOT WORK --

You can just comment out the following in the file app/app_controller.php to disable memcache
//memcache connection
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
$tmp_object = new stdClass; // temporary storage for memcache object

if ($memcache)
{
$this->_memcache = $memcache;
$this->_tmp_object = new stdClass; // temporary storage for memcache object
}
