[Labs-l] memcached is broken

Mon Feb 20 18:54:13 UTC 2012

OK, I was thinking of just adding the listen address to the class as a
configurable parameter. Then I checked the actual class itself and I see
that it is already using that and defaulting to "0.0.0.0":

class memcached ($memcached_size = '2000', $memcached_port = '11000',
$memcached_ip = '0.0.0.0')

So Petr, can you check what's the value of $memcached_ip for your
instances? You can just delete any value there and it will default to
"0.0.0.0".

Cheers,
Dan
