# Basic setup for Memcache

 * Hello Terry,
 * I am using WordPress 6.1.1 with PHP 7.4 on the server and enabled the Memcache
   extension. From the Query Monitor plugin I get the following message:
 * Persistent object cache plugin not in use.
   The Memcache object cache extension
   for PHP is installed, but is not in use by WordPress. You should install a Memcache
   plugin.
 * I installed the CacheMaster plugin to hopefully fix this issue. However on the
   Basic page I only get three choices for the driver: File, MySQL an SQL Lite. 
   Why do I not see Memcache? If for some reason CacheMaster does not see it can
   I use another driver? In any event, I tried each the thee drivers and enabled
   the caching, but still see the same message.

 * Another try with this plugin now using PHP 8.0 and I am receiving the following
   message in debug:
 * `PHP Notice: MemcachePool::set(): Server 127.0.0.1 (tcp 11211, udp 0) failed 
   with: Connection failed: Connection refused (111) in /wp-content/plugins/cache-
   master/vendor/shieldon/simple-cache/src/SimpleCache/Driver/Memcache.php on line
   145`
 * Can you give me any pointers to get the plugin working?
