   define("BX_MEMCACHE_PORT", "0");

   In the line with the parameter BX_MEMCACHE_HOST insteadof example indicate hosting account namein which the site is hosted.

       'cache' => array(
           'value' => array(
               'type' => 'memcache',
               'memcache' => array(
                   'host' => 'unix:///home/example/.system/memcache/socket',
                   'port' => '0'
               ),
               'sid' => $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."#01"
