When I was looking for ways to replicate the contents of memcached for high-availability performance, I found this memcached-repcached application. that has the ability to replicate the contents of one memcached to another.

Repcached key features

Multi master replication.
Asynchronous data repliacation.
Support all memcached command (set, add, delete, incr/decr, flush_all, cas)

People probably already know about memcached . It’s a robust, high performance key-value based memory object cache interface. but unfortunately, lack the ability to create redundancy and replication in memcached server clusters. although replication could be done at the application level. However, it all depends on each individual’s taste.

This is a quick and dirty experiment I have tried using memcached-repcached application on 2 servers.

Download memcached-repcached from repcached.lab.klab.org
Or you can download source rpm version from here
[download#33]

On the first server and second server extract memcached-1.2.8-repcached-2.2.tar.gz, compile with –enable-replication option when configure.

$ tar xvzf memcached-1.2.8-repcached-2.2.tar.gz
$ cd memcached-1.2.8-repcached-2.2
$ ./configure --enable-replication
$ make

Monitoring And Debugging Memcached Server Using phpMemCachedAdmin

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
