How to install memcached
Memcached is a very popular open source object caching server. It was developed to speed up livejournal.com by Danga Interactive. We use memcached for a lot of our sites. We use it for different purposes but one main purpose is to cache query results so we don’t have to keep hitting database. As most of the people who work with databases know it is costly to keep hitting database for same information over and over.
When you run the Memcached daemon, it runs and listens on a specific port. One of the things Memcached does lack is security. Memcached will let anybody who can make a connection to its port have full access to all objects. So you would have to run a firewall to block unauthorized access. It is usually wise to do put firewall on it even if you trust everybody on the same network since accidents do happen. That said, let’s get memcached installed!
