Mongrel Instance Problems

[Jehiah Czebotar]

the problem is with the way you are setting up your memcached connection

You are running on a mongrel cluster, but each server in the cluster
is configured to connect only to the locally running memcached
(127.0.0.1). That is why you are having problems with storing your
session. you are using 4 different memcache pools, one on each server,
instead of one large pool.

CACHE.servers = '127.0.0.1:11211'

should be a complete list of your servers . something like this:

CACHE.servers =
'10.10.10.1:11211,10.10.10.2:11211,10.10.10.3:11211,10.10.10.4:11211'
