Hi,

Is there any documentation on how to enable memcache in CiviCRM?

Hey,

If you're talking about PHP's memcache, we don't use it, therefore no documentation.

Actually memcache integration was added for 1.7 - and if enabled on your server will be used in a several spots to improve performance. Usage info is here:

Thank you Dave

Actually, I read this article but since it was in the blog, I thought it was still experimental. Would you give me an example of the civicrm.setting.php file with the constant defined? I don't want to mess up my installation with bad directives.

Cheers,

Damien

Ahhh... Sorry, I quickly checked out docs and dev list archives to make sure I'm answering right, but I forgot to check the blog. Sorry for misinformation.

Damien - I think you would add this line to civicrm.settings.php - but I've asked lobo to confirm...

Code: [Select]
define( 'CIVICRM_USE_MEMCACHE'  , 1 );

memcache is primarily used for the config object and all the "database constants" (location types, gender etc) to retrieve from memory rather than do a db query. Note that if you change either the config or the  options, u'll need to restarted your memcache server


In addition to the below u also need:

1. php compiled with the memcached extension
2. the memcache install

if your install is different from the default, u will need to hack:

CRM/Utils/Cache.php and change the host/port/timeout values
