Install Memcache

Install Memcache

You can use the following steps to install Memcache in the server.

Before installing Memcache module, first you need to check the ‘libevent’ which is an essential :dependency for memcache module. You can follow the following steps:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.3e.tar.gz
tar -zxf libevent-1.3e.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.3e
./configure
make
make install

The output of “make install” is very important as it lets you know where the compiled module was installed. The default library location is
/usr/local/lib. Open the configuration file;

vi /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libevent.conf (add the entry ‘/usr/local/lib’ )
Check whether the libevent is completely installed.
ldconfig -v |grep libevent

Now you can install the “Memcache” module.

wget http://danga.com/memcached/dist/memcached-1.2.4.tar.gz
tar zxvf memcached-1.2.4.tar.gz
cd memcached-1.2.4
./configure
make
make install

Now you can check whether the Memcache module has properly installed.

which memcached
/usr/local/bin/memcached -d
memcached -d -m 256 -u nobody -p 11211 -l 192.x.x.x (Server IP)
ps -ax |grep memcached
netstat -plan |grep memcached
