Getting memcached to clear -- faulty setting or other issue?
How Do I?
In config.php:
$config['cache_driver'] = 'memcached';
$config['memcached'] = array(
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => 11211,
'weight' => 2,
);Not strictly sure I found the right config file for memcached, its very brief:
PORT="11211"
USER="memcached"
MAXCONN="1024"
CACHESIZE="64"
OPTIONS=""
That all looks normal and fairly typical. Let me know how the external test goes, or if you’ve successfully switched to Redis. I cannot replicate your issue and can’t find a record of anyone else experiencing this problem either. It doesn’t mean that there’s not an issue, but that it seems to be environmental, so perhaps the isolated test will yield you some results.
Will keep you updated. Also considering going ahead and trying to upgrade to v3, since its just the one add-on I need to replace now.
Have not yet updated to v3, but I did finally had the opportunity to change from Memcached to Redis to see if things might work better. Unfortunately, while I have Redis working with forum software on the same server, my EE site says it can’t seem to connect to the Redis server and defaults to file cache.
Any suggestions? We’re using the pecl/redis PHP module.
I did, but still doesn’t seem able to connect. Also went and implemented Redis on on a Mediawiki install and that, too, is working.
Try putting this in a standalone PHP file on the server where you host ExpressionEngine. Change the config to match your Redis server settings.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$config = array(
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'password' => NULL,
'port' => 6379,
'timeout' => 0
);
$redis = new Redis();
$result = $redis->connect($config['host'], $config['port'], $config['timeout']);Got it sorted out and it seems to be working. Thanks!
Redis or memcache? Both? Glad to hear it either way!
