On shared hosting, memcached is accessed via a socket, php memcache and memcached extensions are available. By default, each user is provided with 32 MB of memory, the limit can be increased by contacting the ticket system.

Depending on used php extension socket must be specified differently:

An example for the php-memcache extension: 

Socket path: unix:///root_folder/.memcached/memcached.sock  
Connection port: 0

An example for the php-memcached extension: 

Socket path: root_user_directory/.memcached/memcached.sock  
Connection port: 0

The correct user root directory can be seen in the main page of cPanel after going to it.

Example connecting to memcached in Bitrix

The CMS has built-in support for working with memcached, but it's implemented via the php-memcache extension and is only available on php versions 5.3 - 5.6.

To configure access you need to add the following lines to bitrix/php_interface/dbconn.php file: 

define("BX_CACHE_TYPE", "memcache");  
define("BX_CACHE_SID", $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. "#01");  
define("BX_MEMCACHE_HOST", "unix:///root_user_directory/.memcached/memcached.sock");  
define("BX_MEMCACHE_PORT", "0");

Also in the file bitrix/.settings_extra.php make lines: 

<?php  
return array(  
  'cache' =>array(
    'value' =&gt; array(
      'type' =&gt; 'memcache',
      'memcache' =&gt; array(
        'host' =&gt; 'unix:///root_directory_user/.memcached/memcached.sock',
        'port' =&gt; '0',
      ),
      'sid' =&gt; $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. "#01"
    ),
  ),
);

If bitrix/.settings_extra.php file is missing - you need to create it manually.

After entering the configuration in the files, the configuration is complete.

Example connection to memcached for Drupal

Since Drupal does not have its own tools for working with memcache, it is necessary to install the "Memcache" module through the "Extensions" -- "Install New Module" section (http://адрес_сайта/admin/modules/install ) before starting the configuration.

Link to download the latest version can be found at the end of the page.

After installing the module (also in the "Extensions" section) you need to activate it (check the box next to "Memcache" and click on "Install" at the bottom of the page)

After that you need to edit the file /sites/default/settings.php adding to its end, replacing "your_login" with the name of your hosting account:

Drupal 7 

$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc';
$conf['lock_inc']] = 'sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache-lock.inc';
$conf['memcache_stampede_protection'] = TRUE;
$conf['cache_default_class'] = 'MemCacheDrupal';

// The 'cache_form' bin must be assigned to non-volatile storage.
$conf['cache_class_cache_form'] = 'DrupalDatabaseCache';

// Don't bootstrap the database when serving pages from the cache.
$conf['page_cache_without_database'] = TRUE;
$conf['page_cache_invoke_hooks'] = FALSE;
$conf['memcache_servers'] = array('unix:///home/your_login/.system/memcache/socket' =&gt; 'default');

Drupal 8
//Memcache configuration $settings['memcache']['servers'] = ['unix:///home/your_login/.system/memcache/socket' =&amp;gt; 'default']; $settings['memcache']['bins'] = ['default' =&amp;gt; 'default']; $settings['memcache']['key_prefix'] = ''; $settings['cache']['default'] = 'cache.backend.memcache';
