Thanks for the reply and the script
Turns out I didn't have memcache.so as a php extension (RTFM) .. I
installed that so now its not failing and I have the entry as you have
shown above .. but I do not think its working.
What should I see in  /tmp on my memcache server? I think it would be
files like "lock.hostname.blah.blah" They would be owned by the memcache
process wouldn't they?
I do see files in /tmp like cache_09ad7829152189e6639.. but I think
these are php files since they are owned by wwwrun.
I have looked and so not see a command line method to query the memcache
server to see what its doing.
Any tips Anyone? Thanks for your help.
