Sure you can, no problem at all, just install the memcached service on
as many machines as you want and modify the service on each machine as I
described below (memory to use, port to listen on and so on, see
"memcached.exe -h").

 

Then access the servers from your code with the client of your choice.
>From windows "client" machines we've used a java client
(http://www.whalin.com/memcached/) and the Enyim C#
(http://www.codeplex.com/EnyimMemcached/) client with no problems and
good performance against the Win32 memcached,

Thanks Tormod. I apologize for the confusion. He's what I meant:

 

The documentation at http://www.danga.com/memcached/ says, "First, you
start up the memcached daemon on as many spare machines as you have." I
was just wondering if I can do the same in the Windows environment so as
to provide load-balanced, distributed caching..

 

Best,

Peter

I'm not exactly sure I understand your question, but if you mean
installing several memcached Win32 services on a single box on different
ports, I've not actually tried that, but I did figure out how to change
the port, memory and other settings for a service install, hope this
gets you in the right direction. :-)

To install as a service run "memcached.exe -d install", documented at
http://jehiah.cz/projects/memcached-win32/ or see "memcached.exe -h" for
help. 

 

Then change the registry settings for the memcached service, in
HKEY_Local_Machine/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/ memcached Server.
Change the ImagePath key to something like:

"C:\servers\memcached-1.2.1-win32\memcached.exe" -d runservice -p 11911
-l 192.168.xx.yyy -m 1024

 

And restart the service.

Those are my values, you should use your own preferred path, ports,
memory  and ip-addresses, of course.

 

 

 

- Tormod

Great thanks!

 

I couldn't find any instructions for setting up the Windows version with
multiple memcached servers. Could you please kindly share any pointers
or info?

 

Best,

Peter

That binary worked for me. No other software needed.
