I've tried installing new Linux server programs before and getting
simple 'hello world' scripts working that demonstrate the program, but
I very often get stuck on the install instructions or the hello world
scripts, because the documentation relies on certain shared
assumptions with the target audience, and I don't know enough to have
those shared assumptions. (For example, documentation might say to
chance a .conf file, but wouldn't say that you have to restart the
service that uses that .conf file, because "everybody knows" that, but
I wouldn't know that and I would get stuck. Now, I do actually know
that specific fact :) but that's just an example, it's that kind of
thing I get stuck on.)
So, are there options for me to just hire a consultant to just tell me
exactly how to install memcached on two servers, and then write two
hello world scripts to demonstrate its use for storing and retrieving
a value across the shared cache:
# First machine
StoreKeyValuePair("abc", $largestring);
# Second machine
$temp = RetrieveKeyValue("abc");
and then $temp should contain $largestring.
