I read a bit about memcached but struggling to understand how exactly we use it.

  1. Is it a kind of server/application that we have to install on our machine?
  2. Is it a script that we have to include in our web application and call its functions ect. when needed?

Thanks in advance

Memcached is not a script. It is a service that provides a memory cache for your applications accessible via network. It is not an out-of-the-box solution. You need to use some API to use it in your applications. So, it depends on your application.

  • If I install it on my Ubuntu server, does it automatically serve its purpose or do I have to enable it or do something like connection to it in my scripts of my web application? I'm using Codeigniter for PHP. Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 10:19

    I don't know much about codeigniter. Anyway, you need to use explicitly in your application. Otherwise, it has no effect and will not do anything. Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 10:43
