Topic: Apache (2.4.3) reverse proxy with memcached backend?

[mvuk]

Currently i am trying to install an Apache 2.4.3 as a caching reverse proxy. I would like to use memcached as my cache backend.

I figured out there is a mod_socache_memcache, which from my understanding, should do exactly that(in combination with mod_cache_socache). So i compiled mod_cache_socache from trunk, loaded mod_cache, mod_cache_socache and mod_socache_memcache, but now i am stuck with the configuration. Here is what i tried:


LoadModule socache_memcache_module modules/mod_cache.so
LoadModule mod_cache_socache modules/mod_cache_socache.so
LoadModule socache_memcache_module modules/mod_socache_memcache.so


<IfModule mod_cache_socache>
<Location />
CacheEnable socache
</Location>
CacheSocache memcache
CacheSocacheMaxSize 102400
CacheSocacheMaxTime 86400
CacheSocacheMinTime 600
CacheReadSize 102400
CacheSocacheReadTime 1000
</IfModule>

The part i don't understand is, where do i configure the path to my memcached instance?
Did i maybe misunderstood the purpose of the modules?


The reason for memcached as chaching backend, is that the machine is a windows machine, and from my understanding mod_cache_disk is not as efficient on a NTFS filesystem as it is on EXT3/4.

Another reason is, that later on there should be a possibility to put a second Reverse Proxy machine which shares the cache with the first one by using the same memcached instance (is that possible at all?).

Thanks

if you have trunks mod_cache_socache in your 2.4.x, you would do e.g.
