The14thGOD Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm looking to start messing with memcache(d?) and have a few questions I'm hoping to get quick answers for. Yes I know google is my friend but I don't think it'll answer these 'quick' Memcache==Memcached? (Doing a google search for memcache brings up memcached, also in php.net's documentation for installation they mention memcached) http://www.php.net/manual/en/memcache.installation.php I was looking for a tutorial on how to install memcache(d?) but I don't see anything useful (yet). Anyone got a good and easy tutorial link? Also I'm hosting on bluehost, and no experience with shell. The stuff in the link above looks like I'd have to use that? Is there anyway around that? I'm a little nervous doing that since I'm not familiar with it? I've never really installed anything on a server.

Daniel0 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Memcached is the daemon/service that is running in the background on the server (hence the 'd' for daemon). Memcache is what you use to interface with the daemon. It's unlikely you'll be able to install that if you're on shared hosting.

The14thGOD Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I called bluehost, and the guy I spoke too was unfamiliar with it. He asked how it was installed and I said I didn't really know and it looked like it was through shell but I'm not familiar with it. He said if it's through shell I can do it. Otherwise I could go and try sending them what information I have and they would see if they could figure it out. Any advice or more info that would help me get this installed by chance? Thanks for any and all help. Justin Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181167-quick-questions-memcached/#findComment-955824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well, for the memcache extension in PHP, you'll have to make sure that the PHP development headers are installed on the server. Then you can run pecl install memcache Then you need to download memcached and compile it from source. Then install it.

The14thGOD Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 thanks, i have a friend who is going to help me with this, he's a little unsure of the compiling part though. is it just un-taring it? I also have to wait for bluehost to enable ssh, there some hoops to jump through so hopefully I can get that going. thanks for your help =) justin Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181167-quick-questions-memcached/#findComment-955852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The14thGOD Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 apparently PHP development headers are not enabled on the server and they can not install them because they take up too much resources and they havnt fully tested security with them (this is what they said). So I guess I can't use memcache. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/181167-quick-questions-memcached/#findComment-955872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
