Google competing with code search sites
May 27th, 2009 • google, internet, random
Google is also starting to compete with code search sites in their organic results! When searching for a PHP function called parse_ini_file I got this result.
Personally, I don’t really see use in it. Google search is getting a bit too cluttered with all this information.
My kind of t-shirt!

Not that I’m actually going to wear it… You have to keep your cool, right?
Multiple memcache instances/servers on windows
May 11th, 2009 • 2 comments memcache, memcached, php, windows
Setting up memcache on windows is like taking candy from a baby. You can find all the information and the binaries for memcache at http://jehiah.cz/projects/memcached-win32/ . Note that these binaries will also work for x64 based windows.
A little trickier is to set up multiple instances of memcached on your windows machine. Basically you have to install the same memcache executable as many times as you want servers.
Installing memcache from the command line is simple:
sc create "Memcached11211" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11211 -m 128" DisplayName= "Memcached11211" start= auto
Thus, for multiple instances this will be:
sc create "Memcached11211" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11211 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11211" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11212" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11212 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11212" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11213" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11213 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11213" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11214" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11214 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11214" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11215" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11215 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11215" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11216" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11216 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11216" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11217" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11217 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11217" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11218" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11218 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11218" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11219" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11219 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11219" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11220" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11220 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11220" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11221" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11221 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11221" start= auto
sc create "Memcached11222" binPath= "E:\webserver\memcached.exe -d runservice -p 11222 -m 15" DisplayName= "Memcached11222" start= auto
As you can see from the example above, you have to choose a different port for each memcache instance you are running.
memcache_connect() [function.memcache-connect]: Can’t connect to localhost:11211

Encountered this error? It could be as simple as switching the host from localhost to 127.0.0.1
before:
<?php
$memcache_obj = memcache_connect('localhost', 11211);
after:
<?php
$memcache_obj = memcache_connect('127.0.0.1', 11211);
