How to set up (additional) MemCacheD servers on Windows

http://supersuf037.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-set-up-additional-memcached.html

Go find the latest Windows binary. Such as: http://code.jellycan.com/memcached/

Install the application somewhere like C:/memcached/

1. If you’re running Vista, you should set memcached.exe to Run as administrator
2. Install the service using the command:
   
   

   c:/memcached/memcached.exe  -d install

   from the command prompt

3. Start the server from the Services or by running one of the following commands:
   
   

   c:/memcached/memcached.exe -d  start

   or

   
   

   net start "memcached Server"

      4.  if service not start, then open 'services.msc' in command prompt, and start service manully.

Open up command prompt

Type in the following line:

sc create memcached 11211 binPath= " C:/memcached/ memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11211 -m 2048 " start= auto DisplayName= "MemCacheD 11211 "

notes : from envykok

the space after '=' is necessary

Notes:

-m 2048 is the amount of memory to use in MB. Default value is 64. Maximum value is 2048.

Don't use up 100% RAM. Remember to leave some RAM for the OS.

To utilize more memory on the same machine, repeat the steps given on the same machine but assign a different port number.

In the example above, all instances of the string " 11211 " refers to the port number.

Do take note of the space after each " = " sign.

Check out Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services for results.
