WampServer

Hi,

Running the latest version of Wampserver. I want to implement use of memcache in a current project, I have turned on mem_cache_module in the apache settings and php_memcache in the php settings.

I am not able to connect to memcache, receiving the following error:

Message: Memcache::connect() [memcache.connect]: Server localhost (tcp 11211) failed with: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (10060)

I had thought that turning on the mem_cache_module would start the memcache daemon, but I'm guessing that this is not correct.

Do I need to install the memcache win32 binaries and start the daemon from the windows command line? If I do, is there a prefered place to install them? Or is there some other setting in WAMP that I am missing?

Thanks.

Solved. Installed the win32 binaries and all now works as expected.

ddeile: can you give me some info on getting memcache working?

jdgiotta:

Visit this site to for instructions on downloading and installing the win32 binaries: [pureform.wordpress.com]

The instructions after starting the memcached service are not necessary with WAMP. Instead of modifying the php.ini file, start the apache mem_cache_module and the php_memcache service.

Then run the test php script provided from the link above. You should be in business.

The url that jdgiotta provided explains how to get this working. Memcached will run as a service in windows. Once its installed and running, you can access it from the cmd window.
