I need to increase the memory size for memcached. I have done this before, but I cannot remember all the steps that I took. If I remember correctly, I downloaded /etc/sysconfig/memcached and changed CACHESIZE=64 to CACHESIZE=1024. However I am not sure if that is how it is supposed to be done.
Anyone that could guide me into how I do this? Also a command that confirms the change would be useful. I am running RedHat x86_64 es5.
With the memcached rpms, yes, editing the CACHESIZE in /etc/sysconfig/memcached is the correct way to do it.
You'll need to restart memcached if it's already running.
To check that it's changed, do a "ps aux | grep memcached" and look at the memcached arguments for the -m flag. If it matches what you put in the /etc/sysconfig/memcached CACHESIZE variable, you should be good.
