memcache

[VBCoder]

In order to use DataStore memcache, what do I need to install, and how does it need to be configured?

Also, what is a good initial guess for memcache size (esp. on a system that memory is limited)?

My question was concerning memcache - which is an external daemon - not filecache.

What is involved in installing the memcache daemon? I know there are two separate packages - the daemon itself, and the PHP PECL package to interface with it - and that configuration is not trivial - I was looking for some info on this

Memcache is a self running system which basicly is able to load everything into memory, like mysql itself. If you arn't running a server with tons of avaiblespace its not worth it, filecacheing + eAcclerator will do wonders.

I thought eAccelerator support was removed due to stability issues? (Unless you mean for the PHP bytecode - I already use PHP Accelerator for that).

Re filecache: yeah, I still haven't figured out how to let it work under SELinux (which I really want to keep). Anyone work this out?

Disable SELinux, all of the big guys I've been talking to say its nothing but problems.
