[Koha] Enabling Memcached on Koha 3.18.06

[Craig Butosi]

Hi all,

Not much on enabling memcached for Koha 3.18.06 (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit VPS), so I'm posting here for the community. It looks like I successfully installed memcached on localhost 11211. But it doesn't look like Koha appears as an entry when I run  $ memcdump --servers localhost. Here's what  I did:


1.       Installed memcached

sudo apt-get install memcached


2.       Navigated to /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf and changed MEMCACHED environment variable to 'yes' from 'no'


3.       Restarted apache

service apache2 restart


4.       Telnetted localhost at port 11211

telnet localhost 11211

and was able to successfully connect.


5.       I then installed libmemcached-tools to test

sudo apt-get install libmemcached-tools


6.       I then checked to see if my Koha instance appeared as a memcached entry (according to http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_memcached)


memcdump --servers localhost


7.       But, nothing gets returned. Only a new, blank command line.

Any thoughts on why Koha is not showing up after running #6?

Many thanks!
