How to Configure Memcache on server

By
(1) Install Memcache module then configure according to memcache.
(2) Download the module ( https://drupal.org/project/memcache ).
(3) See the Documentation of how to configure memcache module on server ( https://drupal.org/node/1131458 ).


## REQUIREMENTS ##

- PHP 5.1 or greater
- Availability of a memcached daemon: http://memcached.org/
- One of the two PECL memcache packages:
- http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache (recommended):
- http://pecl.php.net/package/memcached

## INSTALLATION ##

These are the broad steps you need to take in order to use this software. Order
is important.

1. Install the memcached binaries on your server. See for instance:
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/how_install_memcache_debian_etch
2. Install the PECL memcache extension for PHP. This must be version 2.2.1 or
higher or you will experience errors.
3. Put your site into offline mode.
4. Download and install the memcache module.
5. If you have previously been running the memcache module, run update.php.
6. Start at least one instance of memcached on your server.
7. Edit settings.php to configure the servers, clusters and bins that memcache
is supposed to use.
8. Edit settings.php to make memcache the default cache class, for example:
$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc';
$conf['cache_default_class'] = 'MemCacheDrupal';
9. Make sure the following line also exists, to ensure that the special
cache_form bin is assigned to non-volatile storage:
$conf['cache_class_cache_form'] = 'DrupalDatabaseCache';
10. Bring your site back online.

For instructions on 1 and 2 above, please see the INSTALLATION.txt file that
comes with the memcache module download.

## SERVERS ##

If you want the simple version, you can start one default memcache instance on
your web server like this: memcached -m 24 -p 11211 -d
If that is enough to meet your needs, there is no more configuration needed. If
you want to utilize this module's sophisticated clustering feature and spread
your cache over several machines, or if your cache is found on a machine other
than your web server, read on.

The available memcached servers are specified in $conf in settings.php. If
you do not specify any servers, memcache.inc assumes that you have a
memcached instance running on localhost:11211. If this is true, and it is
the only memcached instance you wish to use, no further configuration is
required.

If you have more than one memcached instance running, you need to add two
arrays to $conf; memcache_servers and memcache_bins. The arrays follow this
pattern:

'memcache_servers' => array(
host1:port => cluster,
host2:port => cluster,
hostN:port => cluster
)

'memcache_bins' => array(bin1 => cluster, bin2 => cluster, binN => cluster)

The bin/cluster/server model can be described as follows:

- Servers are memcached instances identified by host:port.

- Bins are groups of data that get cached together and map 1:1 to the $table
parameter of cache_set(). Examples from Drupal core are cache_filter,
cache_menu. The default is 'cache'.

- Clusters are groups of servers that act as a memory pool.

- many bins can be assigned to a cluster.

- The default cluster is 'default'.

Here is a simple setup that has two memcached instances, both running on
localhost. The 11212 instance belongs to the 'pages' cluster and the table
cache_page is mapped to the 'pages' cluster. Thus everything that gets cached,
with the exception of the page cache (cache_page), will be put into 'default',
or the 11211 instance. The page cache will be in 11212.

$conf = array(
...
// Important to define a default cluster in both the servers
// and in the bins. This links them together.
'memcache_servers' => array('localhost:11211' => 'default',
'localhost:11212' => 'pages'),
'memcache_bins' => array('cache' => 'default',
'cache_page' => 'pages'),
);

Here is an example configuration that has two clusters, 'default' and
'cluster2'. Five memcached instances are divided up between the two
clusters. 'cache_filter' and 'cache_menu' bins go to 'cluster2'. All other
bins go to 'default'.

$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc';
$conf['cache_default_class'] = 'MemCacheDrupal';
// The 'cache_form' bin must be assigned no non-volatile storage.
$conf['cache_class_cache_form'] = 'DrupalDatabaseCache';
$conf = array(
'cache_default_class' = 'MemCacheDrupal',
'memcache_servers' => array('localhost:11211' => 'default',
'localhost:11212' => 'default',
'123.45.67.890:11211' => 'default',
'123.45.67.891:11211' => 'cluster2',
'123.45.67.892:11211' => 'cluster2'),

'memcache_bins' => array('cache' => 'default',
'cache_filter' => 'cluster2',
'cache_menu' => 'cluster2'),
);

## PREFIXING ##

If you want to have multiple Drupal installations share memcached instances,
you need to include a unique prefix for each Drupal installation in the $conf
array of settings.php:

$conf = array(
...
'memcache_key_prefix' => 'something_unique',
);

## SESSIONS ##

NOTE: Session.inc is not yet ported to Drupal 7 and is not recommended for use
in production..

Here is a sample config that uses memcache for sessions. Note you MUST have
a session and a users server set up for memcached sessions to work.

$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc';
$conf['cache_default_class'] = 'MemCacheDrupal';
// The 'cache_form' bin must be assigned no non-volatile storage.
$conf['cache_class_cache_form'] = 'DrupalDatabaseCache';
$conf = array(
'cache_default_class' = 'MemCacheDrupal',
'session_inc' => './sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache-session.inc',
'memcache_servers' => array(
'localhost:11211' => 'default',
'localhost:11212' => 'filter',
'localhost:11213' => 'menu',
'localhost:11214' => 'page',
'localhost:11215' => 'session',
'localhost:11216' => 'users',
),
'memcache_bins' => array(
'cache' => 'default',
'cache_filter' => 'filter',
'cache_menu' => 'menu',
'cache_page' => 'page',
'session' => 'session',
'users' => 'users',
),
);


## TROUBLESHOOTING ##

PROBLEM:
Error:
Failed to set key: Failed to set key: cache_page-......

SOLUTION:
Upgrade your PECL library to PECL package (2.2.1) (or higher).

WARNING:
Zlib compression at the php.ini level and Memcache conflict.
See http://drupal.org/node/273824

## MEMCACHE ADMIN ##

A module offering a UI for memcache is included. It provides stats, a
way to clear the cache, and an interface to organize servers/bins/clusters.

## Memcached PECL Extension Support

We also now support the Memcached PECL extension. This new extension backends
to libmemcached and allows you to use some of the newer advanced features in
memcached 1.4.

NOTE: It is important to realize that the memcache php.ini options do not impact
the memcached extension, this new extension doesn't read in options that way.
Instead, it takes options directly from Drupal. Because of this, you must
configure memcached in settings.php. Please look here for possible options:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/memcached.constants.php

An example configuration block is below, this block also illustrates our
default options. These will be set unless overridden in settings.php.

$conf['memcache_options'] = array(
Memcached::OPT_COMPRESSION => FALSE,
Memcached::OPT_DISTRIBUTION => Memcached::DISTRIBUTION_CONSISTENT,
);

These are as follows:

* Turn off compression, as this takes more CPU cycles than its worth for most
users
* Turn on consistent distribution, which allows you to add/remove servers
easily

If you are using memcached 1.4 or above, you should enable the binary protocol,
which is more advanced and faster, by adding the following to settings.php:

$conf['memcache_options'] = array(
Memcached::OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL => TRUE,

);

How to configure memcache with drupal 8 on ubuntu for reduce page load?

By
Memcache is an in-memory (RAM). It store data in Key-Value Format. Memcached server automatically stores all the content (data) in allocated RAM on the server. After configure memcache, it increase Drupal Site performance by moving standard caches out of the database. Drupal does not come with memcache by default if we want to install it then we have to install it on server. There are many steps that how to install memcache on the server and how to configure it with drupal 8 for reducing the load on the database with every page request. Step1 :- Open terminal of your machine and run following commands :- a. sudo apt-get update b. sudo apt install memcached c. sudo apt install php-memcached Step2 :- Check that Memcache daemon is working by using the following command : a. "ps aus | grep memcached" Step3 :- Also, check Memcache extension is configured in PHP. For that you have create a file phpinfo.php then write below code. <?php phpinfo(); ?> or sudo vi /var/www/html...

How deploy your angular project on GitHub Pages

By
Step 1:- Create Repository on github Note :- Open terminal and goto your project direcoty then run following command which you got after created repository. Step 2:- git init Step 3:- git add . Step 4:- git commit -m "first commit" Step 5:- git branch -M main Step 6:- git remote add origin https://github.com/rahuldrupal5788/DevR9angular.git Step 7:- git push -u origin main Step 8:- We need to build our code in production mode for that we will create deployment files that will be deployed on GitHub Pages. By default, this deployment code is generated in the /dist/<ProdectName> folder under the angular project folder, but we need to generate this in the "docs" folder under the angular project folder. So, we need to make a small change in the angular.json file and change the outputpath value to "docs/". Step 9:- Run the following command with the baseHref  option in the git bash window to generate deployment files in the docs folder. ng build --prod --b...

What is Docker? How to create Dockerfile, Volumes? How to manage container with Port Mapping?

By
What is Docker? Docker is an open source centerlized Platform designed to Create, Deploy and run applications. Docker use container on the host OS to run applications. It allows application to use the same linux Kernal as a System on the host computer, rather than creating a whole virtual OS. We can install docker on any OS but Docker engine run natively on linux distribution. Docker written in 'go' language. Docker is a tool that perform OS level virtualization, also known as Containerization. Before Docker, many users faces the problem that a particular Code is running in  the developer's system but not in the User's System. Docker was first Release in March 2013. It is developed by Soloman Hykes and Sebastion Pahl. Docker is a set of Platform as a service that uses OS level Virtualization whereas VMware uses Hardware level Virtualization. We can say that Docker is a tools which create the VM. Advantages of Docker :- There are following advantage of Docker : No pre-a...
