I'm fairly new to bash/Putty commands, but I am trying to add memcached capabilities to a NodeJs/MongoDB app on Openshift. I am getting stuck at installing memcached at the source. I followed the instructions detailed here: https://www.openshift.com/forums/openshift/memcached (or a script version here: https://github.com/zfdang/memcached-in-openshift/blob/master/.openshift/action_hooks/build) and everything seems to check out. Directories are where they should be, etc. But when I try to do anything with "memcached" in the bin directory -
cd $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/memcached/bin
dir
outputs:
memcached
so I type: memcached -vv (as per the example) or memcached -l $OPENSHIFT_INTERNAL_IP -p 11211 and get:
bash: memcached: command not found
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, and I don't have much experience with bash commands, but I would have guessed that the presence of memcached in the directory meant that it could be run.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
The current directory is not in your path.
You could run it by providing an absolute path
./memcached -vv
Or you could add the directory to your path.

It's possible that the file is not executable, in which case, you should run:
chmod u+x memcached
