Hi, I'm evaluation the live management features of the console and I've some troubles making it working When I open live management tab there is an error: "An error occurred while the server was looking for active nodes. For more information, check /var/log/pe-httpd/error.log."

Has the pe-memcached script started the memcached process correctly? What do you see when you run the command:

Thanks, this fixed the problem. Still I think that this is an issue that should be addressed. If you guys need a distributed cache it should be configurable. Even better - have a plugin for different cache providers.
