Configure HostBill to use Memcached for caching

By default HostBill uses file system to store its cache data. Primary use of cache in HostBill is performance/reduced page load times. If you plan to use HostBill in HA (High-availability) setup, you may want to consider using Memcache(d) as your cache driver in HostBill (which is default for HostBill installed with Enterprise installer). 

This guide assumes that:

  • Memcached is already installed, configured and running
  • php-memcached extension is installed


In your HostBill's includes/config.php file add following lines to bottom of file contents:

//...

$config['HBCache.Driver']='memcached';  // we're letting HostBill know we'll use memchached ...

$config['HBCache.Memcached.host']='127.0.0.1'; // ... running on 127.0.0.1 ...

$config['HBCache.Memcached.port']=11211; // ... on port 11211

// or you can use DSN notation instead of above:
$config['HBCache.Memcached.DSN']='memcached://my.server.com:11211';  //socket, username:password, weight etc. is available using DSN
