I have set up memcached in Django using Pylibmc binding:
CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.PyLibMCCache',
'LOCATION': ['10.241.1.1:11211',
'10.241.1.2:11211',]
}
}
I tested on server with django shell, and the memcached pool workse for getting and setting values in memcached. But when I try to set
SESSION_ENGINE = "django.contrib.sessions.backends.cached_db" OR
SESSION_ENGINE = "django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache"
my website can still be accessed, but halts when user pressed login button. So I guess this must be the problem with session backend. My website works fine by using database as session backend. I cannot find any related error in apache or website error log, and /var/log/memcached.log is empty.
