Step # 1: Turn on EPEL Repo
Type the following command to enable EPEL repo which carries required memcache packages.rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
.Step # 2: Install memcached
Type the following command to install memcached with php extension:# yum install memcached php-pecl-memcache
Step # 3: Configure memcached Edit /etc/sysconfig/memcached, enter:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/memcached
Update it as follows:
PORT="11211" USER="memcached" # max connection 2048 MAXCONN="2048" # set ram size to 2048 - 2GiB CACHESIZE="4096" # listen to loopback ip 127.0.0.1, for network connection use real ip e.g., 10.0.0.4 OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1"The above will starts memcached up as a daemon, using 4GB of memory, and listening on IP 127.0.0.1, port 11211. Save and close the file.

Type the following command to start memcached, enter:# chkconfig memcached on
# service memcached start
To stop / restart use the following commands:
# service memcached stop
# service memcached restart

Its a very nice article.You need to configure memcache file and you are done.Fedora 13 wasn’t working.Copying that file from Fedora 12 installation seems to work,but I wonder why it was missing. rpm -ql memcached doesn’t show memcache.so.
