So, as you know, we got you sorted for this. For anyone else who wants to use memcache on their Dreamhack:

* Let me or Fu (depending on whose box you're on) know, first, so you can be assigned a port that you can use for memcached.

* You'll then want to run memcached in a screen session, as it runs in the foreground. The command you want to run in screen is:

memcached -p <port>

where <port> is the port number you were given.

* Finally, you'll want to edit your etc/config-local.pl file. Look for this line:

#@MEMCACHE_SERVERS = ('hostname:port');

and change it to:

@MEMCACHE_SERVERS = ('127.0.0.1:<port>');

again replacing <port> with the appropriate port number. (Make sure also that the line is uncommented by removing the # at the front.)

This, I think, should be all that's needed.
