Re: Load balanced web servers with CakePHP
Woah. I attest for the ease of setting up memcached. I've gotten it working via Cake within hours. Tested with failing nodes etc. to see the behaviour. Pretty cool! Now what I have to do next is to replace my element calls with a new helper which utilise memcached instead. cache() still writes to the tmp folder as of now. :( On Nov 28, 9:32 am, dericknwq [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: @Sean: I would think memcached is faster though both runs through the network.

What other nifty tricks could you share about your current setup? Setting up sessions to use memcached is easy, and all done in your php.ini (see http://uk2.php.net/memcache for more info). Then you can just set Cake back to using PHP sessions. We aren't doing anything special with Cake to scale, just using the same techniques any app would use. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Load balanced web servers with CakePHP
Cake seems to use the PECL memcache extensions, which I've used elsewhere, and they're solid. I'd look at caching in memcache before NFS mounted disk.
