Thanks Steve, I am kinda new to admining my own server, so no, I hadn't tried telnet. And you are correct, I can't telnet to 11211. But at the same time, I can't be sure that memcached is running either. I'm not sure how to test for that. I have started memcached with [code] memcached -d -m 1024 -l 10.0.0.40 -p 11211 -u nobody [/code]
and I get returned to the command line. it doesn't say if it is actually running or not, but I assumed without errors that it was running. when I look through ps aux | less, I don't see an entry for Memcache, so I'm guessing that maybe memcache isn't running? or would it not show up in running processes? Sorry I'm at a bit of a loss here, I'm surprised memcached doesn't return an error if it can't start or something.
