memcached_pass
The `memcached_pass` directive is used to route requests to a memcached server.
Description
The memcached_pass directive allows an NGINX server to pass requests for cached data to a specified memcached server. This directive is useful in scenarios where you want to cache pages or data for faster access and need to retrieve those from a memcached backend. The directive accepts a single argument, which is the address of the memcached server, and can be placed inside a location block or an if block within a location.
Config Example
location /cache {
memcached_pass 127.0.0.1:11211;
}Ensure the memcached server is running and accessible at the provided address.
Avoid using memcached_pass inside a try_files block as it may not behave as expected.
Configuration errors may lead to NGINX being unable to establish a connection to the memcached server.
