• System = redhat
• yum install memcached
• pip install python-memcached

I added this to the bottom of my setting.py

CACHES = {
  'default': {
    'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
    'LOCATION': '/export/harris112/memcached.sock',
    'TIMEOUT': 18000,
    'KEY_PREFIX': 'askbot',
  }
}
CACHE_TIMEOUT = 18000
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY = True

and I attempt to run locally for testing

(python-two-seven)[root@kitt uvcdatASKBOT]# /etc/init.d/memcached start
Starting memcached: 
(python-two-seven)[root@kitt uvcdatASKBOT]# python manage.py runserver `hostname -i`:8000
Validating models...

Please attend to the following:

Cache server is unavailable.
Check your CACHE... settings and make sure that the cache backend is working properly.

If necessary, type ^C (Ctrl-C) to stop the program
(to disable the self-test add ASKBOT_SELF_TEST = False).

turns out I've missed something… Any suggestions?
