Yup. Thats how I've got the production environment set up. We have two
memcache server, each with a decent amount of RAM. The same thing
happens there (though,
not always to both memcache servers. Sometimes it happens to one or the
other.) Also, I've written a small memcache test script that just tries
to set and get a
very small value. That works sometimes, and it fails other times.
That's what I find so odd.
Thanks,

Hi Joseph,
I guess you know that your Memcached size if only 10MB (STAT
limit_maxbytes 10485760). Magento zend cache (your objects) tests this
size prior to setting
object, and if the limit is reached (STAT bytes) you cannot set any new
object in the cache, but you can set new sessions - so that might be
your problem ,
though not according to the stats u sent.
One more thing, it is better to deploy Magento with 2 Memcached servers,
one for the cache and one for the session, so whenever you upgrade your
site and
flush the objects, you don't need to either flush your sessions - see
typical configuration of one of our customers below.
Best,

Thanks for the response.
I've been testing as best I can and I've found that setting and
getting fail. I get either no output, or a
Notice: Memcache::set(): Server my.memcachehost.com (tcp 11211)
failed with: Received malformed response (0) in /var/www/memcache.php on
line 5
I'm able to continue setting and getting via telnet without any
issues. Also, if I redeploy my webserver (onto somewhere else in our
cluster)
things sometimes are happy, sometimes they continue to fail.
When I look at netstat, I don't see the connections in memcache. When
looking at
the output from memcached, it doesn't show any additional output
(as if the connection never reaches it.) I'm confident it's not my
firewall
rules, as I've got everything automated so that my configuration
is consistent between versions. I've also ruled out the extension being
used. It happens using the memcached, memcache, and an
extensionless method that I found.
I'm running on Ubuntu 10.04. All of the other services on this
cluster don't have any connection issues (mysql, http, load balancer,
ssl
terminator) and they all use my same script for configuring the
firewall rules appropriately.
All of the stats look ok. I'm not maxing out the connection
limit, and I am nowhere near memory limits. This happens when using
memcache for
sessions and for page cache.

Hi Joseph,
Can you elaborate a bit more on your problem, what do you mean by
unavailable, can you set/get keys ? are your app-->mmemcached tcp
connections
disconnected ? have you reached to your memcached memory limit (please
send memcach stats) ? something else ?
Also, specific question about Magento, does it happen on the session
caching (I guess so) or the object caching the part that is based on
zend
caching ?

When I'm using Memcache (the PECL extension) with Magento,
everything
works well for an indeterminate amount of time. After some time
passes, Memcached becomes unavailable. This is the odd part
though, I
can still telnet into MemcacheD and issue commands. I have 4
webservers all connecting to one memcache instance. Does anyone
have
any ideas what might be going on?
