Memcached server : It is a caching daemon designed especially for dynamic web applications to decrease database load by storing objects in memory.
Install Memcached Server
Type the following command on memache1 server. First, you need to turn on EPEL repo:
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
Now, install memcached using the yum command, enter:
# yum install memcached
Configure memcached
You need to edit /etc/sysconfig/memcached file, enter:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/memcached
Edit as follows:
PORT="11211"
USER="memcached"
MAXCONN="2048"
CACHESIZE="4096"
OPTIONS="-l 10.10.1.5"
Where,
PORT: Listen on TCP port # 11211, the default is port 11211.
USER: Run memcached server as memcached user.
MAXCONN: Use 2048 max simultaneous connections; the default is 1024.
CACHESIZE: Use 4096 MB (4GB) memory max to use for object storage; the default is 64 megabytes.
OPTIONS="-l 10.10.1.5": Listen on 10.10.1.5. This is an important option to consider as there is no other way to secure the installation. Binding to an internal or firewalled network interface is suggested. In this example, IP address 10.10.1.5 is only accessible using LAN and is behind firewalled host.
Make changes as per your setup and requirements. Save and close the file.
Turn On Service
Type the following chkconfig command to turn memcached service, enter:
# /sbin/chkconfig memcached on
## command to START the server ##
# /sbin/service memcached start
## command to STOP the server ##
# /sbin/service memcached stop
## command to RESTART the server ##
# /sbin/service memcached restart
Install php-pecl-memcache
Type the following commands on www1, www2, and www3 Apache server:
# yum -y install php-pecl-memcache
# /sbin/service httpd restart
Install Memcached Object Cache Plugin
Type the following command on www1, www2, and www3 Apache server (if you are using some sort of cluster aware file system such as GFS2 or OCFS2, than just type it on any one apache web server node):
Visit this url and grab the plugin, enter:
$ cd /tmp/
$ wget http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/memcached.2.0.zip
$ unzip memcached.2.0.zip
Edit object-cache.php, enter:
$ vi object-cache.php
Edit memcahe server and port connection information:
$buckets = array('10.10.1.5:11211');
Save and close the file. Finally, copy object-cache.php into your wp-content directory. In our example /var/www/html/wp-content/ directory:
$ cp object-cache.php /var/www/html/wp-content/
How Do I Verify That It Is Working?
Type the following commands to display memcache slabs (please note that the following output is taken from a small memcached server with just 512MB cache for demonstration purpose only):
