I am also facing the Connection failed issue. The site was working fine since last few months. Then when I checked it was showing the connection failed issue. I have discussed with the hosting provider. They told me that the port is 11211. I have also set the same Whereas the host is localhost.
I have checked with them and they said it is enabled and in the wordpress settings also it is shown as enabled. I am presenting here two screenshots, one is of wordpress and another of phpinfo.php that the service provider has given. Am I doing something wrong?
I have asked Godaddy Technical Team. For almost an hour’s time they fail to understand what to do. Then again hey have told that since it is showing on phpinfo page it means it is running.
I don’t know what to do. I am thinking to move my hosting to some other service provider.
You are right shared hosting doesn’t have Memcached daemon, but their backend team was also not able to check, when I have forwarded to them. They first told it will take 30 minutes, after that they will be able to telnet. After 30 minutes they said it is running fine. Then I told them that the following memcache code is not returning the desired result, they just told that they check through phpinfo page only. Anyway, thanks for your guidance and help. I have decided to change the service provider as GoDaddy team is not able to address the issue.
