Hello All-

I’ve been using the memcache session store sucessfully since rails
2.0, but after starting a new app with v 2.1 I’m getting the following
error at each page request:

mem_cache_store.rb:54:in `initialize’

This is happening with both 2.1 and edge. Any pointers? Any updated
howtos out there?

thanks

FYI, my memcache settings started as this

development:
memcache_options = {
:compression => false,
:debug => false,
:namespace => “app-dcru-#{RAILS_ENV}”,
:readonly => false,
:urlencode => false
}
memcache_servers = [ ‘localhost:11211’ ]

config.action_controller.fragment_cache_store = :mem_cache_store,
memcache_servers, memcache_options

cache_params = *([memcache_servers, memcache_options].flatten)
CACHE = MemCache.new *cache_params
ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS.merge!({ ‘cache’
=> CACHE })
config.action_controller.session_store = :mem_cache_store

then I whittled them down to this:
config.action_controller.session_store = :mem_cache_store

neither work with >= rails 2.1

Hi,
I have the same problem. try to comment these lines in your
config/environment.rb:
config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => ‘_app_session’,
:secret => ‘a_long_hash_key’
}

That’s work for me !
And I used rails v 2.1
