note 105501 added to memcached.addserver

On my Debian Squeeze system I was getting WRITE FAILURE errors. After debugging and finally tcpdump it seems that the problem was me adding the server 'localhost', which resolved to '::1' (ipv6) while the default memcached server on debian only listens to '127.0.0.1' (ipv4). DNS automatically prefers ipv6 over ipv4. I added the server '127.0.0.1' instead and everything worked. You could also disable ipv6 or have memcached listen on ::1 ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 193.190.240.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/memcached.addserver.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105501 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105501/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105501/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105501/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105501/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105501/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105501/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105501 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105501 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
