You need php_memcache.dll, I believe.

I put that in. It still didn't work.

Did you put it in httpd.conf?
Wait did you follow this?

Yes, I followed that guide. And no, I didn't put it in httpd.conf, I put it in php.ini
What was I supposed to put in httpd.conf?

yes, httpd.conf -- this file has the *webserver* config. php.ini has *php* config.

Yes, I know that, I host my own website on an Apache server.
What I need to know is this: what do I need to add to httpd.conf?

Did you remove the memcached server from bootstrap.php? -- ?
Did you add the .htaccess in htdocs? -- Yes
Are you sure the memcached server is running as a service currently and that you have the right version of php_memcache.dll? -- Yes, and I took the version in the guide

In app/config/ there's a file called bootstrap.php and on line 39, the MEMCACHE_PREFIX needs to be empty.

I think I did that...we'll see later. I'm away for the weekend and will check when I get home.

Yeah, PHP ScratchR is a tricky thing to work with. Mostly because it uses old version of PHP, can't be easily installed (whereas Django/Python applications can be installed by running manage.py syncdb, though they do require mod_wsgi) and seems lacking in documentation. In the last checkout, I have seen unfinished methods, models with no visible application, etc...

I want to re-write ScratchR for Django/Python. I already started developing models. If you want to join in, first go to my Gitorious repository, and ask me for push access (you'll need a Gitorious account). You'll then be able to contribute. Right now it's going slow, with me being the only developer.[/offtopic-plug]

Why bother? They're doing it themselves, except they're making 2.0.

Is that the project code-named "Jiggler?".

It's what was in use on the Scratch 2.0 alpha site and I believe it's called ScratchR 2, based on the directory structure of the site.

I have two pieces of evidence for the name Jiggler. First, jiggler.media.mit.edu redirects to the 2.0 alpha, and the window at Scratch Day MIT was cloning a git repo ScratchR2 into a folder named Jiggler (or maybe the other way around)

I'm pretty sure it was formerly called Jiggler and now called ScratchR 2, because, as I said before, files like this are in a scratchr2 directory.

Turns out it IS empty. It still gives me a blank page.

Any idea how to fix it?

That's the problem I keep having, except I tried on Windows and Mac OS.

Well, I'll make my own guide if I ever find what's wrong with it. 

Are you sure you have memcached running?

Well then, I'm not sure.
