I have installed the memcache extension and also memcached. Now what do I need to chance in the php.ini file so that all sessions are handled in memcache?

Obviously I mean "change", not chance. No idea of how I managed to make that type twice. – Peter Johansson Nov 15 '10 at 14:40

Simple answer:

session.save_handler = memcache

and

session.save_path="tcp://server:port"

Long answer, read these pages, and it should explain it a bit better.

about the server:port, any insight of what I should put there? – Peter Johansson Nov 15 '10 at 14:42
Should it be "tcp://my.server.com:11211"?? – Peter Johansson Nov 15 '10 at 14:49
Google gave me results such as these: session.save_path="udp://<memcache_server>:11211?persistent=1&weight=1&timeout=1‌​&retry_interval=15".... do you have an insight of how exactly this works...? – Peter Johansson Nov 15 '10 at 14:51
Yep. Or you can use IP Address instead, like "tcp://127.0.0.1:11211" would refer to the memcached server on localhost. – Tom O'Connor Nov 15 '10 at 14:52
Excellent. I will go with "tcp://127.0.0.1:11211". Do you have an insight in these type of params: "?persistent=1&weight=1&timeout=1&retry_interval=15"? – Peter Johansson Nov 15 '10 at 14:54
