View source for Setting up memcached

First, install memcached:

 sudo apt-get install memcached

Then, look at <tt>/etc/memcached.conf</tt>. Look for where it says:

 # Default connection port is 11211
 -p 11211

Either note this number or change it to a number you do want, as long as it's not the same as the Apache port number or another port number you are using.

Then, look at <tt>$LJHOME/etc/config-local.pl</tt> to make sure the port number on this line:

 @MEMCACHE_SERVERS = ('127.0.0.1:<b>11211</b>');

Matches the one in <tt>/etc/memcached.conf</tt>.

You can then start memcached with:

 /etc/init.d/memcached start
