Linux: CentOS: Installing Memcached

Category: Linux, Memcached / Tags: no tag / Add Comment

I wanted to install Memcached for a project we are working on on CentOS and thought about recompiling the code etc. However in the end I felt it best to use the src rpm from here http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/memcached/ and then rebuild it.

Once you rebuild it you can edit the /etc/sysconfig/memcached file to modify the memory used by memcached. For changing the memory size edit the “CACHESIZE” entry – this entry is in MBs.

To start /etc/init.d/memcached start

Works like a charm!
