Hello FFC,

It would be helpful to know what OS and control panel are installed on your server before giving specific advises.

Thanks for providing the helpful info. Her are the short instructions:

1. If you don't need the latest version of memcached, you can use already precompiled rpm package for it. Run as root in the shell:


2. Its startup configuration may be adjusted via /etc/sysconfig/memcached file. To start memcached run:


3. To install PHP Memcached extension:


4. It should be activated in your php.ini as well via editing /usr/local/lib/php.ini and adding the line "extension=memcache.so" under the listing of other extensions.

Something like about should work. Unfortunately, I got those instructions from head as don't have a machine to test right now. Please advise, if you get any further questions.

Yes, you can, if you feel you don't have a time to spend on this. One free script install per billing year is included in the Managed Hosting Intense addon. Otherwise, there will be $75/hour assistance fee.

If you still would like to work on this yourself, try to download that file and upload it to the server and then issue this command to install the package:

rpm -ivh /path/to/memcached-1.2.2-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm
