Add the below text:

# If we don't get a valid logfile parameter in the /etc/memcached.conf file,
# we'll just throw away all of our in-daemon output. We need to re-tie it so
# that non-bash shells will not hang on logout. Thanks to Michael Renner for

}
========================================
/etc/init.d/memcached restart
ps aux | grep memcached
add memcached as autostart deamon
/sbin/chkconfig memcached on
/sbin/chkconfig --list | grep memcached
Output will be like:
memcached 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
To test memcached:
Create memcache.php in document root and add the text
=================================
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$memcache = memcache_connect('localhost', 11211);
if ($memcache) {
$memcache->set("str_key", "String to store in memcached");
$memcache->set("num_key", 123);
$object = new StdClass;
$object->attribute = 'test';
$memcache->set("obj_key", $object);
$array = Array('assoc'=>123, 345, 567);
$memcache->set("arr_key", $array);
var_dump($memcache->get('str_key'));
var_dump($memcache->get('num_key'));
var_dump($memcache->get('obj_key'));
}
else {
echo "Connection to memcached failed";
}
?>
================================
Browser will display " String to store in memcached."
