Memcached Vs Memcache On Centos 6.3 Final

[cogeanumarius]

Hi to all,

I have received this message in BO of PS 1.5.3.1

"To use Memcached, you must install the Memcache PECL extension on your server. http://www.php.net/manual/en/memcache.installation.php"

I see there is a confusion created between MemCached and MemCache.

Could someone direct me to a place where I could find the right PHP extension to install also to the proceudre of how to verify if it is corectly installed and working.

Huge thanks in advance

It is memcached but afaik it works only with older version and it really should be the PECL version. You can check the functionality with http://code.google.com/p/phpmemcacheadmin/ ... I am testing atm PS1.5.4 with mecached (apt-get not PECL) and performance is remarkable slower than without memcached. Memcachedamdin shows me a hit rate of 0%.

Best regards, trip

I have yet to see a Prestashop site with a working cache (memcached or file cache).

 

There are all kinds of weird things happening, from modules uninstalling when you try to configure them, to products not updating.

There seems to be a fix for version 1.4.6. by Christopher Supnig but it seems they did not merged it. At least the website where he implemented it, seems to perform really good. Maybe we can ask Christoph if his changes are hard to implement in the 1.5.X version

 

Sorry here is the link https://github.com/csupnig/Prestashop-Memcached-Fix and here to his blog post about the changes http://www.supnig.com/blog/caching-mysql-results-with-memcached
