Answer 1

PECL modules are (by default, and most of the time) downloaded from a non-local repository. Therefore you will need some form of internet connection to download it.

Alternatively you can upload the pecl package from your machine to a location on the servers local file system and install it from there, or compile from source.

Answer 2

To answer my own question an for rising the intellectual horizon of @OZ_ and @martswite

an offline-installation of an pecl extension works like the following way:

1.) download the extension from http://pecl.php.net/packages.php

2.) there you get an .tgz file

3.) install the file:

 pear install memcache-3.0.6.tgz 

Answer 3

To me this error was caused due to php without support for ssl. Enable openssl or recompile with openssl built int. Check php support in a Linux host run

php -i | grep openssl

Should print a line with openssl if support enabled.
