Installing Gearman Job Server and worker in Ubuntu or Mint

Installing Gearman Job Server and worker in Ubuntu or Mint

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install gcc autoconf bison flex libtool make libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev curl libevent-dev uuid-dev

cd ~

wget https://launchpad.net/gearmand/1.2/1.1.12/+download/gearmand-1.1.12.tar.gz

tar -xvf gearmand-1.1.12.tar.gz

cd gearmand-1.1.12

./configure

sudo make

sudo make install

sudo apt-get install gearman-job-server

sudo pecl install gearman

sudo nano /etc/php5/conf.d/gearman.ini [and then write extension=gearman.so as content of the file, save it and close it]

sudo service apache2 restart




Checking :
-----------

gearmand -V [to check if gearman is installed]

ps aux | grep gearman [to check if gearman job server is running as service or not -- if not then run it]

php -m [to check if gearman extension for php is installed and loaded or not in the command line]

this one is also needed for compiling:

apt-get install gperf

If you want persistent queues with libmysqlclient (see http://gearman.org/manual/job_server/#libmysqlclient), something else is needed:

if using MySQL:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

if using MariaDB:

sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
