how to setup memcache on linux

Steps to install Libevent(memcached dependency)

First we need to check if libevent is installed or not?

type whereis libevent on shell.

If you don’t find it, then we need to download and install it.  Type following sequence of commands on your shell
wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.8-stable.tar.gz

tar xfz libevent-1.4.8-stable.tar.gz

cd libevent-1.4.8-stable

./configure

make

sudo make install

Finally we need to create a symlink to libevent

type  sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-1.4.so.2 /usr/lib on shell.

Steps to install Memcached

Download and install, for that type following sequence of commands on your shell
wget http://danga.com/memcached/dist/memcached-1.2.6.tar.gz

tar xfz memcached-1.2.6.tar.gz

cd memcached-1.2.6

./configure

make

sudo make install

Run Memcached as a daemon (d = daemon, m = memory, u = user, l = IP to listen to, p = port)

type memcached -d -m 1024 -u root -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211 on shell

当按照上面的教材安装完成后出现类似下面的错./memcached: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-1.3e.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


You can fix this by simply doing this:

上面的软连接写错位置了，应该用下面的命令

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-1.3e.so.1 /lib64/



就可以正常运行了

用下面的命令来查看是否成功
netstat -a -n |grep 1121

如果可以看到下面的结果：就成功了

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:11211             0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN
udp        0      0 127.0.0.1:11211             0.0.0.0:*


window 下面的安装简单

下面 window版本的memcache server

http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.northscale.com/memcached-win32-1.4.4-14.zip

解压zip文件到某个目录如： c:\mmemcache-1.4.4

进入 c:\mmemcache-1.4.4 目录

memcached.exe -d install 安装服务

memcached.exe -d start 启动服务

memcached.exe -d uninstall 卸载服务
