It works well for me, and I don't bother autostarting memcached with MAMP because only one of my hosts needs it and I prefer to get an error if it's not running to remind me that it should be running. For reference, I've used Alfred to launch memcached with a simple workflow. Once installed, to start memcache I just add Assuming that MAMP Pro is already installed I start with: Step one: Install Memcached service:Īssuming you're clever and have already installed homebrew, you install the memcached daemon thusly: brew install memcached My hope is that this might help others with similar needs. Here's how I do that, if only for my own recollection.
#Mamp memcache how to#
As a result I've had to figure out how to compile them myself. It's in running this configuration, you see, that I have found the need to regularly install new memcache extensions within MAMP and while at one point I was able to utilize this majksner/php-memcached-mamp repo for a compiled version, for whatever reason they're not really keeping up with the latest releases of MAMP. As it happens, through various personal life choices, very probably also well beyond my control, my daily driver is a MacBook Pro and thus, through various other factors and decisions, I use MAMP Pro.

Through a twist of fate well beyond my control I find that I must use a development environment every day that requires MySQL, Apache, PHP and Memcached.
