Using info from CentOS forums, Sunny Walia and Ryan Boren, here’s how I got memcached running on my Dotster VPS:
Install libevent:
| ``` wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.3e.tar.gz tar zxvf libevent-1.3e.tar.gz cd libevent-1.3e ./configure make make install ``` |
Install memcached
| ``` wget http://danga.com:80/memcached/dist/memcached-1.2.5.tar.gz tar zxvf memcached-1.2.5.tar.gz cd memcached-1.2.5 ./configure make make install ``` |
We will start the server to use 30 megs of ram (-m 30), listen on ip 127.0.0.1 (-l 127.0.0.1) and run on port 11211 (-p 11211) as user ‘nobody’ (-u nobody):
| ``` memcached -u nobody -d -m 30 -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211 ``` |
Get an error?
| ``` memcached: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-1.3e.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ``` |
Show it the path to the library:
| ``` LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ``` |
