I have found a very cool program for monitoring and debugging Memcached server, it’s called phpMemcachedAdmin. This program allows to see in real-time (top-like) or from the start of the server, stats for get, set, delete, increment, decrement, evictions, reclaimed, cas command, as well as server stats (network, items, server version) with googlecharts and server internal configuration You can go further to see each server slabs, occupation, memory wasted and items (key & value).

Another part can execute commands to any memcached server : get, set, delete, flush_all, as well as execute any commands (like stats) with telnet To extract these informations, phpMemCacheAdmin uses, as you wish, direct communication with server, PECL Memcache or PECL Memcached API.

Explanation above is an excerpt from the website. This is a simple guide how do I install phpMemCachedAdmin.

Download phpMemCachedAdmin tarball

# wget http://phpmemcacheadmin.googlecode.com/files/phpMemcachedAdmin-1.2.1-r233.tar.gz

Since we will install in /var/www/html/memcached/ directory, run this command:

# mkdir -p /var/www/html/memcached
# tar -xvzf phpMemcachedAdmin-1.2.1-r233.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/memcached/
# chmod 0777 /var/www/html/memcached/Config/Memcache.php

Apache Configuration

( i’m using apache as reverse proxy backend )

# cd /etc/httpd/conf.d
# vi memcached.conf

Sharing PHP Session In web Clusters Using Memcache

If you have multiple load balanced webservers all serving the same site, sessions should be shared among those servers, and not reside on each server individually. Because we don’t know where user gets load-balanced to which backend server. A common way solving this problems are by using custom class that overrides default behavior and stores sessions in a MySQL database. All webservers in clusters connect to the same database. However, the main problem that must be taken into consideration when using a database is the bottleneck.

Example loadbalancing backend using nginx

http {
  upstream backend {
    server 192.168.1.1:8000 weight=3;
    server 192.168.1.2:8001;
    server 192.168.1.3:8002;
    server 192.168.1.4:8003;
  }

  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.example.com;
    location / {
      proxy_pass http://backend;
    }
  }
}
