Port number & hostname for memcache?

tsutton

Hi all,

I am looking to use memcache

According to the other post by @sean

https://community.opalstack.com/d/121-setting-up-memcache

it seems to be straightforward as you already have it installed by default but what I need is to know the hostname and also the port number as the software I use asks for it.

Could someone please tell me the details?

Thanks,

Tony

tsutton If you've set it up following the the post you mentioned, then memcached is not listening on a port at all. To connect to it you use the path to the filesystem socket as shown in the example, eg: unix:/home/user/apps/appname/memcached.sock

For PHP apps, the syntax for a socket connection might be different, I think something like unix:///home/user/apps/appname/memcached.sock:0 - check your application documentation for the specifics.

tsutton If your app requires you to enter host and port separately, then try:

Host: unix:///home/user/apps/appname/memcached.sock
Port: 0

I had a go with this, but sadly that did not work.

I have bunch of error messages but don't wish to post in public view, so I shall raise a support ticket.

Thanks.

Wrapping this one up: the app in question is Cubecart.

To configure Cubecart to connect to memcached on a socket /home/shelluser/apps/appname/memcached.sock use the following in includes/global.inc.php:

$glob['memcached_servers'] = array(array('/home/shelluser/apps/appname/memcached.sock',0,0));

Also...

In the same includes/global.inc.php file, change from

$glob['cache'] = 'file';

$glob['cache'] = 'memcached';

This will enable memcached.

Thanks for your help in support ticket earlier, Sean! 🙂
