I cannot get memcached to run on my server.
This is what I tried so far:
% sudo systemctl start memcached # no output
% sudo systemctl status memcached.service
● memcached.service - memcached daemon

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
How can I start my memcached service?
Have a look into /etc/memcached.conf there might be written sth. like -l xxx.xx.xx.xx If you are trying to connect via localhost: just comment the line. If you are trying to connect from somewhere else check the IP for correctness.
