Django cache framework with apache and mod_wsgi

[Gabriel-Cristian Muj]

Hi, 

  I am trying to use django's cache framework (using file system as backend). When running development server, everything is fine, but with apache I cannot make it work. Sometimes is working, sometimes not.

This is in my settings.py:

CACHES = {

    'default': {

        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache',

        'LOCATION': '/var/tmp/django_cache',

    }

}

Do I need to add some extra configuration for apache to make it work?

I use cache for upload progress based on django-progressbarupload this is part of the code where cache is used:

#set

self.cache_key = "%s_%s" % (self.request.META['REMOTE_ADDR'], self.progress_id)

cache.set(self.cache_key, {

      'length': self.content_length,

      'uploaded': 0

})

#update

data = cache.get(self.cache_key)

data['uploaded'] += self.chunk_size

cache.set(self.cache_key, data)

#get

cache_key = "%s_%s" % (request.META['REMOTE_ADDR'], progress_id)

data = cache.get(cache_key)
