[3 BTC BOUNTY] SimpleCoin PHP nightmare

[phr0stbyt3]

So I have a ubuntu 12.04 vps running poolserverj flawlessly with LAMP installed.
I followed these instructions for installation of simplecoin listed on github:

Code:

Installation:
1. Extract files into web root directory
2. Create simplecoin database in you mysql instance
3. Run simplecoin.sql in your simplecoin database (This will be used for pushpool & simplcoin)
4. Edit includes/requiredFunctions.php and set the bitcoin & database login info
5. Edit all files in the cronjob folder, set $includesDirectory to the correct server path.
6. setup cronjobs on a staggered schedule. I recommend 10-30 minutes for most. I run payout twice daily.

I cloned simplecoin to /var/www and restarted apache.
After 4 days I am still getting the same error:

Code:

apache2: Syntax error on line 238 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 20 of /var/www/about.php: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/("includes/header.php");: No such file or directory

It is trying to look in /etc/apache2/("includes/header.php"); ... wtf is going on?
Please help before I pull my hair out.

Ok so I noticed in apache2.conf there was

Include sites-enabled
AND
Include /var/www

I commented out /var/www and restarted apache and the error is gone.

HOWEVER!
The page still wont display at all:

Maybe you should post the errors from the error.log instead of letting everybody look at a blank page to guess what the error might be

[yogi]

undo changes to conf
use full path in the include

[unfinishe]

First, undo the change to apache.conf.

Next, take out the space between "include" and the left parenthesis.

Error in error.log is:
[error] [client xx.xx.xxx.xxx] [PHP Fatal error: Class 'Memcached' not found in /var/www/includes/requiredFunctions.php on line 57.

edit: until 30 minutes ago I didn't know where to look for errors.

Ok, sounds like we fixed the first error.

Now, it seems that simplecoin needs the memcache module, which is not installed on default. The best guide I could find to do that is here:

http://stevelove.org/2009/09/30/how-to-install-php-memcached-on-an-ubuntu-server/

Hopefully that works.

There is a package for memcached:

Code:

sudo apt-get install php5-memcached

[MarKusRomanus]

install the php5_memcached and restart apache

As it was said, you're missing memcached. You might miss either only PHP module, or both memcached server and PHP module. To install both on Ubuntu:

Code:

sudo apt-get install memcached 
sudo apt-get install php5-memcached 
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
