How to install Memcache

[LotsOfQ]

Web: ngnixproxy
Use Apache 2.4

Cache: none

I've done this but not working. Doesn't seem to be installed.

1. Choose 'php54m' for 'php used' in 'webserver configure'
2. Copy '/opt/php54m/etc/php.d/memcached.nonini' to '/opt/php54m/etc/php.d/memcached_used.ini'
3. Restart your web with 'sh /script/restart-web -y'

Note: better update your server with 'yum clean all; yum update -y; sh /script/restart-web -y' before activate memcached.

Need 'yum install memcached -y; chkconfig memcached on; sh /script/restart-web -y'. In 'restart-web' will appear memcached restart also.

I installed like this
yum -y install memcached memcached-devel php-pecl-memcache
chkconfig memcached on
Options for memcached in folders  /etc/sysconfig ? ? /etc/rc.d/init.d for memcached files
PORT="11211"
USER="memcached"
MAXCONN="1024"
CACHESIZE="256" //any number you prefer
OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1"

Everything works fine several years

Use 'php54-pecl-memcached' instead 'php54-pecl-memcache'.

[LotsOfQ]

So I ran this:

yum install memcached -y; chkconfig memcached on; sh /script/restart-web -y

For some reasons when restart-web -y I go this:

Stopping memcached:                                        [FAILED]
Starting memcached: chown: invalid user: `memcached\r'
 to switch toe user memcached
                                                           [FAILED]

[LotsOfQ]

Should I uninstall and reinstall it like xamer suggested? How do you uninstall?

I installed like this
yum -y install memcached memcached-devel php-pecl-memcache
chkconfig memcached on
Options for memcached in folders  /etc/sysconfig ? ? /etc/rc.d/init.d for memcached files
PORT="11211"
USER="memcached"
MAXCONN="1024"
CACHESIZE="256" //any number you prefer
OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1"

Everything works fine several years

What's wrong in your server. Install memcached will be add 'memcached' user automatically.

Try 'yum reinstall memcached -y'.

[LotsOfQ]

Tried Try 'yum reinstall memcached -y' still get the same error:

Stopping memcached:                                        [FAILED]
Starting memcached: chown: invalid user: `memcached\r'
 to switch toe user memcached
                                                           [FAILED]

[MRatWork]

Inform here 'cat /etc/passwd'

[LotsOfQ]

memcached:x:492:491:Memcached daemon:/var/run/memcached:/sbin/nologin
vpopmail:x:89:89::/home/vpopmail:/sbin/nologin

[MRatWork]

Did you modified /etc/sysconfig/memcached and or /etc/init.d/memcached?.

[LotsOfQ]

Options for memcached in folders  /etc/sysconfig ? ? /etc/rc.d/init.d for memcached files
PORT="11211"
USER="memcached"
MAXCONN="1024"
CACHESIZE="256" //any number you prefer
OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1"

[MRatWork]

Look like /etc/sysconfig/memcached save in Windows OS (that why appear " invalid user: memcached\r'" when start service;  see '\r').

[LotsOfQ]

So I deleted those files and reinstall:

yum reinstall memcached -y

And it looks like it's working so far so good.

[LotsOfQ]

When run 'sh /script/restart-web'

Stopping memcached:                                        [  OK  ]
Starting memcached:                                        [  OK  ]

Show it's running but application show not install.
