Description

Hi,

Sometimes we're seeing weird errors when browsing the UI. Unfortunately, we can't tell yet how to reproduce them as we haven't seen any pattern so far :(

Foreman version: foreman-1.0.1-2.el6

We're using memcached as cache backend to store settings.

Attached is a full trace of an error similar to the second one. Ping me if you need any more information. Thanks!

this seems cache related problems, does it happen only with memcache?

It might have to do with mod_passenger Spawning policies. I am trying setting it to conservative and seeing how it plays around. If in a few days I don't get any 500 I assume that was the 'error'.

More info on why this is happening

http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#_example_1_memcached_connection_sharing_harmful

tl;dr mod_passenger and memcached sharing the same connection

Looks like the issue was finally 100% solved by replacing the old memcached_client gem by an up-to-date version of dalli: https://github.com/mperham/dalli

Great! would you mind adding a wiki page on how to setup foreman on memcache?
