Laravel/Lumen: Could not establish Memcached connection

I wanted to use caching in my project and thought I'd use Memcached. For that, I installed memcached.

When I output my phpinfo(); I can see, that the extension exists

enter image description here

However, when wanting to use it with Cache::get(), I get the following error:

Could not establish Memcached connection.

I have the following values in my .env

MEMCACHED_HOST=127.0.0.1
MEMCACHED_PORT=11211

My php.ini has the following content for memcached

extension=memcached.so

What do I need to do, to use memcached now and establish a connection successfully?

The Exceptions says:

Could not establish Memcached connection

So, PHP Memcached "extension" can not "connect" to "Memcached".

Please, try installing:

sudo apt-get install memcached
sudo service memcached status

And you are ready to go!

Are you sure memcached itself is running?

sudo service memcached status

If it's off you need to start it.
