If you are on windows, here are the steps which will help you running memcached on windows machine:

1. Download the memcached win32 binary from my code.google vault.

2. Unzip the downloaded file under C:memcached

3. As we need to install memcached as a service, run this from a command line: C:memcachedmemcached.exe -d install from the command line

4. Memcache by default loads with 64Mb of memory which is just not sufficient enough. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesmemcached Server in

your registry and find the ImagePath entry. Change that to “C:memcachedmemcached.exe” -d runservice -m 512

5. Start the server by running this command: C:memcachedmemcached.exe -d start

6. Open folder C:PHPext and check for php_memcache.dll. If you are unlucky not to have that download from here for PHP-4.x and from here for PHP-5.x

7. Add extension=php_memcache.dll in your php.ini file

8. Restart Apache

9. Download the full package consisting of exe’s, classes and dll’s from here.

A few other options which you can use for starting memcached are:

memcached -d -m 2048 -l 10.0.0.40 -p 11211 , This will start memcached as a daemon, using 2GB of memory, and listening on IP 10.0.0.40, port 11211. Port 11211 is the default

port for memcached.
