Memcached settings

Owdy · March 19, 2008, 03:07:55 AM

If i put my server name (kiuru.sigmatic.fi) in that textarea, i got this:

QuoteWarning: memcache_connect() [function.memcache-connect]: Can't connect to kiuru.sigmatic.fi:11211, Connection refused (111) in /var/www/fs1/0/public_html/foorumi/Sources/Load.php on line 2415

Can i leave blank that texarea?

The textarea should only be filled in if you have a memcache server. Looking at the error either the server name is wrong or the memcache server doesn't exist

SMF says 'SMF has detected that your server has Memcached installed.'. SMF 1.1 didnt find that, 2.0 does. Server name is correct.

Is memcache present in phpinfo? I don't think SMF checks for a server, just the relevant php functions.

memcache support enabled
Revision $Revision: 1.83.2.20 $

Yep it looks like it is the php extension. Is this dedicated or shared hosting?

Ummmm... shared

Most likely the php distribution used by your host uses a php config with the memcache extension although they may not have a memcache server. Guess you'll have to ask them to be sure.

I also spoke to Jay and apparently memcache didn't work correctly in 1.1.x which is why it wasn't detected

Ok, ill ask my host.

edit: they say its only for their webmail, not for customers yet.

You probably won't want to use memcached anyway. First off, it is in a shared environment and you have no protection. Second, it is only for caching variables, not for opcode caching like APC or eaccelerator.

Good to know. Thanks G.

I definitely wouldn't use memcache in a shared enviromnent. As far as the detection goes, it just detects the php module, which is only a client. You still need a memcached server for it to connect to.
