Yes. Add the following to /library/config.php

$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Memcached';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array(
    'backendOptions'=>array(
            'servers' =>array(
                            array(
                                'host' => 'localhost', // your memcached server ip /address
                                'port' => 11211        // memcached port
                            )
                        ),
             'compression' => false
     )
);

To hijack this slightly, what are the advantages/disadvantages of memcache or APC? Which should I be asking our admins to install?

(APC is too short to search for on here)

 

[ragtek]

It depends on your setup

[Vladislav Rastrusny]

I think better go for APC because it is also a bytecode cache and this will decrease server load also (PHP will not have to compile it's scripts again and again on each request).

 

[x4rl]

Hmm i know nothing of APC i thought memcached was good

 

[ragtek]

Do you know what memcached is and for what you should use it?

Should use it for speeding up my site no? ;/
but APC ive never heard of
I did'nt use memcache till some addon (on vb) came out

memcached can cache data. APC can cache both PHP bytecode (to free PHP of obligation to compile it again and again) and data.

So, if you don't have any PHP cache on your system I suggest you try APC.

memcached vs. APC?

Geez ... APC is an opcode cache for PHP. memcached is something totally different.

You really should be running a PHP opcode cache even if you are utilizing memcached as well.

That said ... is there a setting for a memcached prefix in XenForo? For running more than 1 XenForo installation with memcached?

 

[x4rl]

Geez ...

Hmm not everyone knows everything

anyway with that said is APC a must? anyone got a link i can read about it? also is it easy to set up with XF

Cheers

Yes it's http://pecl.php.net/package/APC well ... or http://xcache.lighttpd.net/

We are running XCache.
