After I was done with install Memcached on CentOS a while ago, I just know today that there are 2 different PECL modules. One is "Memcache PECL" while another is "Memcached PECL". The one I did before is "Memcache PECL", so, now, I try to install "Memcached PECL" which is newer and require libmemcached library.

The content below is almost exactly to my previous Memcache PECL installed. Only a few changes to install Memcached PECL instead.

I just want to try if Memcached can really help my server load or not. So, I look around to find the way how to do it. There are a couple ways but to me, below are what I did to installed it.

Get Libevent which is require to install Memcached. Their homepage is here -> http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/

Then, get Memcached from http://memcached.org

Important update notes

I just switched to OS X (Leopard) a few weeks ago and I still need to run a few Windows applications that I still couldn’t find anything comparable in MAC OS. Many choices are available for me starting from Bootcamp that I need to reboot every time I want to run Windows applications. Or try either VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop to run a virtual machine so that I don’t need to restart computer every time I need to run Windows Application.

I would like to use Spine instead of default Cacti's poller. At first, I'm thinking about to use Dag repository. It should work easily if I don't have DirectAdmin installed. However, I do have DirectAdmin installed and that caused dependencies problem when I tried to yum install it.

So, I need to compile Spine by myself. I checked at Cacti website and found "Compiling Spine for Redhat/Fedora Linux" The steps seem to be easy but it's not. I got and error :

It's been a while that I do nothing with Cacti. So, I decided to upgrade Cacti from version 0.8.7b ( http://bxtra.net/Articles/2008-09-18/Steps-how-install-Cacti-CentOS-52-D... ) to version 0.8.7d.

1. Get Cacti version 0.8.7d

2. Change directory of Cacti 0.8.7b (Old) to something Else. Then, extract Cacti 0.8.7d and change directory name to the one we use.

shell> mv cacti cacti_old_version
shell> tar xzvf cacti-0.8.7d.tar.gz
