Package: php5-memcache Version: 3.0.4-2 Severity: important
While using php5 memcache for session management, it seems that if one of the instances goes offline, the clients will error out instead of gracefully failing over. It doesn't seem to happen for me with a single instance, but I'm still doing some tests. Here's the syntax I'm using for multiple servers: session.save_path = "tcp://192.168.0.103:11211, tcp://192.168.0.104:11211, tcp://192.168.0.105:11211" I had read that this module only really uses the first instance, and if it dies is supposed to repop to the latter instances listed. If this is the case, is it possible that someone can verify that it is actually failing over on a failure for them? If not, it may be worth removing multi-server support so people don't mistakenly depend on it. Again, this is what seems to be happening under my load and tests, so I may be stampeding the sessions rather then the failover not working at all. Either way, it makes Apache cry. :( -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
