I installed memcache on my server but when switching to it in ACP I get "You must provide at least one server.".

The server address I entered is : 127.0.0.1:11211

I checked to see if memcache is running with the following command:

ps ax | grep memcached | grep -Ev grep

which returns:

29969 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/bin/memcached -m 64 -p 11211 -u nobody -l 127.0.0.1

So I am using the correct port. It's also seems to be enabled in PHP, running the following command

php -i | grep memcache

returns:

anyone know what the issue might be? Thanks in advance!

"You must provide at least one server." that sounds like an "inpurt issue". You have actually typed that address and didn't expect the placeholder (which is exactly this address) to work right? Maybe you can attach a screenshot/video clip showing this issue.

Wow I really feel stupid now.

it looked like this:

So I thought it was prefilled with the default values. But yep it was just a placeholder (facepalm). Thanks a lot for this! it's working perfectly now

Yes I nearly fell for this as well otherwise I wouldn't even have suggested this :P.
