Hi,

I am new to memcached and membase.
Currently I am in a project where we have used memcached.Totally 2 servers having one server of 3GB.

We are in LINUX platform and used almost all the memcached API like (memcached_set/get etc etc).
As memcached has no data recovery mechanism on server failure or in disasture we are planning to upgrade it to membase.

Could you please help me on this to achive this goal?
I gone throught the docs and found that membase also support memcached API.
So we are thinking we dont have to change any code.

I think we have to change the configuration file.
Could you please give me a path to proceed?

Thanks & Regards,
Swadesh

All you have to do is setup membase on a new server (or servers - more than one server is recommended) and point the client to it... that's it.

I setup all the buckets the same way that memcached is setup using the same ports so all I had to do was change the IP's in settings.php and restart apache.

Its fairly straight forward! :) Move over one bucket at a time and keep an eye on the membase interface to ensure that its taking traffic. Super easy!

I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting memcache timeouts in my logs though. This was happening on both memcache & membase... :(

If you're seeing timeouts, please post to the SDK forums. We'd be glad to help to try to find the issue.
