Installing Memcached on Windows

Memcached is a high performance, in-memory key-value store or caching system. Its main purpose is to speed up web applications by caching database queries, contents, or other computed results.

Memcached is originally a linux application, but since it is open-source, it has been compiled for windows. There are two major sources for the pre-built windows binary: Jellycan and Northscale, and both versions can be used. The following are the download links for the memcached windows binaries:

http://code.jellycan.com/files/memcached-1.2.5-win32-bin.zip
http://code.jellycan.com/files/memcached-1.2.6-win32-bin.zip
http://downloads.northscale.com/memcached-win32-1.4.4-14.zip
http://downloads.northscale.com/memcached-win64-1.4.4-14.zip
http://downloads.northscale.com/memcached-1.4.5-x86.zip
http://downloads.northscale.com/memcached-1.4.5-amd64.zip

In versions earlier than 1.4.5, memcached can install itself as a service. However, the ability to run memcached as a service is removed since version 1.4.5. Therefore, the installation steps are divided into two categories, part A for memcached prior to version 1.4.5. and part B for memcached version 1.4.5 and later.

A) Installation of memcached < 1.4.5:

Extract the memcached windows binary to any directory.
In versions earlier than 1.4.5, memcached can install itself as a service. Run a command prompt with elevated privileges, and type:
```
c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install
```
* Replace c:\memcached\memcached.exe with the actual path of your installation.

Then, start or stop the memcached service with the following command:

c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d start
c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d stop

To change the configuration of memcached, run regedit.exe and navigate to the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\memcached". Suppose you wish to increase the memory limit of memcached, edit the value of ImagePath to the following:
```
"c:\memcached\memcached.exe" -d runservice -m 512
```
* Besides '-m 512', you may also append other memcached parameters to the path. Run "c:\memcached\memcached.exe -h" to view the list of available parameters.
Meanwhile, to uninstall the memcached serivce, run the following command:
```
c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d uninstall
```

B) Installation of memcached >= 1.4.5:

Extract the memcached windows binary to any directory.
In version 1.4.5 or later, memcached cannot run as a service. It must be started as a normal process using the task scheduler. To configure the memcached process to run automatically every time windows start, run a command prompt with elevated privileges, and type the following:
```
schtasks /create /sc onstart /tn memcached /tr "'c:\memcached\memcached.exe' -m 512"
```
* Replace c:\memcached\memcached.exe with the actual path of your installation.
** Besides '-m 512', you may also append other memcached parameters to the path. Run "c:\memcached\memcached.exe -h" to view the list of available parameters.
Meanwhile, to remove the scheduled memcached task, run the following command:
```
schtasks /delete /tn memcached
```

Integrating with PHP

To interface with memcached in PHP, you need to install the memcache extension for PHP:

Check that your PHP extension folder has the file php_memcache.dll. If not, download the file from https://pecl.php.net/package/memcache (select the windows dll file), and place it in the PHP extension folder.
Add the following line in php.ini to enable the memcache extension.
extension=php_memcache.dll

Create this simple php script file to test that it works.

<?php$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");$version = $memcache->getVersion();
echo "Server's version: ".$version."<br/>\n";$tmp_object = new stdClass;
$tmp_object->str_attr = 'test';
$tmp_object->int_attr = 123;$memcache->set('key', $tmp_object, false, 10) or die ("Failed to save data at the server");
echo "Store data in the cache (data will expire in 10 seconds)<br/>\n";$get_result = $memcache->get('key');
echo "Data from the cache:<br/>\n";var_dump($get_result);?>

Integrating with Python

To interface with memcached in Python, you need to install the memcached client for Python.

Execute one of the following command to install the memcached client. The first is for Python 2.x while the second is for Python 3.x.
```
pip install python-memcached
pip install python3-memcached
```

Create this simple python script to test that it works.

import memcache
mc = memcache.Client(['127.0.0.1:11211'], debug=0)
mc.set("some_key", "Some value")
value = mc.get("some_key")
mc.set("another_key", 3)
mc.delete("another_key")
mc.set("key", "1")   # note that the key used for incr/decr must be a string.
mc.incr("key")
mc.decr("key")

Memcached statistics

To view the statistics for memcached, bring up a telnet connection to memcached by the command:

telnet 127.0.0.1 11211

Then, type stats and enter.

North Scale labs have released a build of memcached 1.4.4 for Windows x64:

http://blog.couchbase.com/memcached-windows-64-bit-pre-release-available

http://labs.northscale.com/memcached-packages/

UPDATE: they have recently released Memcached Server - still FREE but enhanced distro with clustering, web-based admin/stats UI etc. (I'm not related to them in any way) Check it out at http://northscale.com/products/memcached.html and download at: http://www.northscale.com/download.php?a=d

UPDATE 2: NorthScale Memcached is no longer available as a standalone download. Now they have made it part of their commercial No-SQL DB offering called Membase. It can be configured to run in Memcached-only mode (i.e. without persistence) and there's a 100% free version too. Check it out here: http://www.membase.org/downloads

UPDATE 3: MemBase has slept with CouchDB and produced a hybrid product offering, called CouchBase. They still do offer a free "Community" version at http://www.couchbase.com/download
