Compiling/Installing LSMCD
LiteSpeed Memcached (“LSMCD”) is LiteSpeed's persistent memcache-compatible cache daemon. It’s performance and interface are similar to the popular Memcached, with the addition of high-availability replication. In LSMCD, cache data is persistent on both single and multiple box setups -- preserving all cache data through updates and instances of server failure.
Requirements
There are certain package requirements to compile and install LSMCD. LSMCD relies on these packages to work properly. The required packages differ slightly between distributions.

Run the following commands from an elevated shell terminal:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" yum install autoconf automake zlib-devel openssl-devel expat-devel pcre-devel
Debian/Ubuntu
Run the following commands from an elevated shell terminal:
apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libexpat1-dev openssl
Download
There are multiple ways to download LSMCD. Here a few options:
- Git:
git clone https://github.com/litespeedtech/lsmcd.git
Note If using wget
or curl
, be sure to extract the archive with the following command: unzip master.zip
Compile
To compile LSMCD, run the following commands from an elevated shell terminal:
cd lsmcd ./configure CFLAGS=" -O3" CXXFLAGS=" -O3" make
LSMCD should now be built. If there were any errors please double check that all package requirements were installed. If package requirements were not the issue, please post on our forums for further assistance.
Install
To install LSMCD after it has been compiled, run the following commands from the same elevated shell terminal:
make install
That’s it! LSMCD should now be installed.

There are various different ways to start/stop LSMCD. Here are just a few ways.
Systemd
systemctl start lsmcd systemctl stop lsmcd systemctl enable lsmcd systemctl disable lsmcd
init.d
service lsmcd start service lsmcd stop chkconfig lsmcd on chkconfig lsmcd off
Manual
/usr/local/lsmcd/bin/lsmcdctrl start /usr/local/lsmcd/bin/lsmcdctrl stop
