memcached file has zero size

Hi,

I have done as the tutorial in the docs says and setup memcached for my site. The file is located in my home folder ~/memcached.sock

However its size is zero. Is it normal? How can I check that it works. I am still in dev mode so I can't test it with many users.

memcached.sock is a UNIX socket file - it doesn't store any information, it simply acts as a conduit for interprocess communication. It is normal for sockets to have a size of zero bytes.

If you want to inspect the status and contents of your memcached cache, then have a look at the tips here: How to communicate with memcached socket via shell?

Hope that helps!

thanks for your answer. I tried both ways (nc and the python shell) described I get {} as an response.

Why could that be?

Test Django caching by invoking 'python manage.py shell' and than attempting to use it at a low level the official docs have some good examples. This should give you a better idea of why its failing.

thanks. it fails. But I don't know why. I think I will open a ticket

from django.core.cache import cache

cache.set('my_key', 'hello, world', 30)

cache.get('my_key')
