Topic: Memcached on Windows

[gijs]

I'm trying to install memcached from: http://blog.elijaa.org/index.php?post/2010/10/15/Memcached-for-Windows&similar

When I try to run it with the -d command line option I get the following error:

Failed to ignore SIGHUP: No error
failed to daemon() in order to daemonize

When I run it without -d it appears to run normally, but I need -d to install it as a service...

I've tried the following tutorials but they don't explain how to solve this.

I've tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions but it didn't make a difference.
I also tried the version from: http://code.jellycan.com/files/memcached-1.2.6-win32-bin.zip

Which does not give this error but still doesn't create the service.

Anyone know how to get this working?

Try NSSM to run it as a service:

I don't have to run it with -d so it runs as a deamon?
It appears to work, but its memory usage doesn't increase over 353mb.

I currently run it with the following commandline:
-L -m 4096 -I 15000000

I also noticed that my webpages don't appear to load that much faster, TTFB is still roughly the same.
I assume everything was cached from the files stored on my SSD previously, so there is not a huge increase in performance.

I assume the current botleneck is the database, is it possible to memcache it?

I also noticed that when running it with -l 127.0.0.1 the test script said the connection failed..
So now it runs on all IP's, is this dangerous? (I assume not, since the windows firewall by default blocks incoming traffic, and I haven't added a firewall rule for it)

The last thing I noticed is that this is a more developed version of the interface for linux: http://pecl.php.net/package/memcached

but it's not available for windows.

Im Currently using this version for 64 bit http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/memcache/3.0.8/ and for windows service file v 1.4.4 which is the latest windows http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8896/memcached-on-windows-x64/9806441#9806441
