Laravel Lumen Memcached not found

Question

Ok, I just started with Lumen and I\'m trying to use the Auth, but a call to either Auth::check or any other function of Auth.. leads to the below Error Fatal error: Cla

Answer 1

For me, the issue was that I used the php-7 branch of homestead repository which does not have PHP memcached ready.

Answer 2

If you have a new lumen installation, you must rename .env.example to .env . So it can read your configurations!

Answer 3

in your .env file, you can also use CACHE_DRIVER=file instead of CACHE_DRIVER=memcached

Answer 4

I spent 3 hours on this problem today. With the help of the post of demve in this topic, I found the solution. Very simple! I hope it won't affect me later in my development.

Just to it, in the .env file :

CACHE_DRIVER=array
SESSION_DRIVER=array
QUEUE_DRIVER=array

Ok, I make an UPDATE because I was faced with a new problem about the session. In fact, when you set the previous parameters, your session won't be persistent, like said in the documentation: array - sessions will be stored in a simple PHP array and will not be persisted across requests.

So I have to change it, always in .env a file like that :

SESSION_DRIVER=cookie

With a var_dump(Session::all()); I now can see the whole values of my session

Answer 5

In .env file replace

#This line:- 
  CACHE_DRIVER = memcached

#With this:- 
   CACHE_DRIVER = array

Answer 6

This happens if your .env file is owned by another user than the one trying to run the artisan command.
