Several reports have been made about the unexpected purging of entire memcached servers when MUC is configured to use Memcache and caches get purged. This is expected and occurs because the memcache extenions don't provide isolated containers. Moodle data is stored along side any other data in the cache and when caches get purged all data gets removed whether it belongs to Moodle or not. The docs cover this point and here I've added notes about this to both config-dist.php and cache/README.md
QUICK INSTALL ============= For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all its tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle Good luck and have fun! Martin Dougiamas, Lead Developer
