In cPanel 11.88 Memcached is now available in the EasyApache4 yum repo.
This tutorial installs Memcache as a service on port 11211. This works for a single site, but Memcached has no auth service on this set up so it is not appropriate for multiple separate users. Instead use a Memcached socket, which is not covered here.
To install, run the following command:
yum -y install ea-php*-php-memcached
Enable the service:
systemctl enable memcached.service
Edit the config file:
/etc/sysconfig/memcached
PORT="11211" USER="memcached" MAXCONN="1024" CACHESIZE="64" OPTIONS=""
Change options to listen locally
OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1"
Start Memcached:
systemctl start memcached.service
You can now verify with lsof:
lsof -i :11211
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME memcached 17880 memcached 26u IPv4 2040097288 0t0 TCP localhost:memcache (LISTEN) memcached 17880 memcached 27u IPv4 2040097289 0t0 UDP localhost:memcache
Memcached is now installed and started.
