I also have similar mistake. I did not change any settings.

Where you can see the settings?

We need to see your Xcache settings. Those are the config settings for XenForo (also, you are trying to use Memcache, but you've commented out the actual part which sets it as your backend cache).

Perhaps Your CMS tries to use Xcache but since there is authorization is required then an error is generated.

Right now you are using the File cache backend which simply stores cached data in the file system. That works.

If you wish to use Memcached then see this document:

http://xenforo.com/help/cache/

In all, to use Memcached for XF's cached data you need to add this code to the library/config.php file:

Code: 
$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions']['cache_id_prefix'] = 'xf_';

$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Memcached';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array(
	'compression' => false,
	'servers' => array(
		array(
			// your memcached server IP /address
			'host' => 'localhost',
			
			// memcached port
			'port' => 11211,
		)
	)
);

A memory cache (such as Memcached) can speed things up. But be sure to monitor the cache. An unhealthy memory cache can actually be a detriment. A memory cache is really only appropriate for large / busy forums on a dedicated server with a server admin to configure it.

Besides a memory cache, using an opcode cache like APC is a benefit to all forums and will speed up execution by way of having it installed on the server without any configuration in XF itself.

Not sure that I actually need caching. This is not going to be a full blown site. Even when I add the following line, I get the error:

$config['cache']['enabled'] = false;

Nope, it's not really - especially if you are using the latest PHP and have enabled the built in op code cache.
Just comment out all the cache related entries in your config.php.

What settings do you have in your php.ini for Xcache? That error is suggesting Xcache can't set it's shared memory space for caching.

This is my config:
Code: 
<?php

$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['port'] = '3306';
$config['db']['username'] = 'fo1_user';
$config['db']['password'] = 'pw';
$config['db']['dbname'] = 'fo1_db';

$config['superAdmins'] = '1';

Are you running any add-ons that use a cache?
That error indicates that something is expecting xCache to be loaded. Are you using memcached on the server? If so, try restarting your web server and php.

OK, have you at any time had xCache installed on the server? If so, have you restarted Apache (if that's what you use, otherwise php5-fpm if using nginx) or OLS/LS if using OpenLiteSpeed or LiteSpeed?

I am on litespeed and xcache is running as well as memcache. This is with wiredtree. When they make changes to xcache, it affects other websites on the server so I think they might be using it. any idea how you would address this?

OK.. you are on a shared hosting package apparently?
Does your php info page show xCache being loaded?
