# memcached default config file
# 2003 - Jay Bonci <[email protected]>
# This configuration file is read by the start-memcached script provided as
# part of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
# Run memcached as a daemon. This command is implied, and is not needed for the
# daemon to run. See the README.Debian that comes with this package for more
# information.
-d
# Log memcached's output to /var/log/memcached
logfile /var/log/memcached.log
# Be verbose
# -v

# -vv
# How much memory to make available. This is the maximum memory that can be
# allocated, not how much the Daemon grabs at startup.
-m 128
# Default connection port is 11211
-p 11211
# Run the daemon as root. The start-memcached will default to running as root if no
# -u command is present in this config file
-u nobody
# Specify which IP address to listen on. The default is to listen on all IP addresses
# This parameter is one of the only security measures that memcached has, so make sure
# it's listening on a firewalled interface.
#-l a.b.c.d
# Limit the number of simultaneous incoming connections. The daemon default is 1024
# -c 1024
# Lock down all paged memory. Consult with the README and homepage before you do this
# -k

# -M
# Maximize core file limit
# -r
