1. At first we need libevent library

 wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.3b.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libevent-1.3b.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.3b
./configure && make && make install
 

 2. Install Memcached

 wget http://www.danga.com/memcached/dist/memcached-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf memcached-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd memcached-1.2.1
./configure && make && make install
useradd memcached

3. Run memcached 

! Replace 10.0.0.40 wit your ip address  and 2048 with memory in KB witch you want to alocate with memcached (max. 2048)

In our example we have 4GB of free ram, so we runs 2x memcached with 2GB of RAM on port 11211 and 11212 

 ./memcached -d -m 2048 -l 10.0.0.40 -p 11211 

 ./memcached -d -m 2048 -l 10.0.0.40 -p 11212

4. Setup firewall

! Replace 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 with your net, where you can allow to use the memcached and eth1 with name of your interface 

iptables -A INPUT -s ! 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 -i eth1 -p tcp -m multiport --dports \ 11211,11212 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -s ! 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 -i eth1 -p udp -m multiport --dports \ 11211,11212 -j DROP

5. Install memcache phpapi 

!Replace /usr/local/php with path, where you have php 

 wget http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-2.1.2.tgz
tar -xzvf memcache-2.1.2.tgz
cd memcache-2.1.2
export PHP_PREFIX="/usr/local/php"
$PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=$PHP_PREFIX/bin/php-config
make && make install

Edit php.ini and add - extension="memcache.so"

That´s all. Restart apache (apachectl restart) and you will have memcache support in PHP.
