h1. Set up memcached
2
3
As a Rails 3 application, foreman is fairly easy to connect to memcached. 
4
Instead of using memcache-client, we are going to use Dalli, a ruby gem that allows Rails to use your memcached store.
5
6
* Include <pre>gem 'dalli'</pre> on your Gemfile and run *bundle install*. 
7
* Open your environment config file, it is in config/environments/*.rb. Let's assume you will want to set memcached as your production cache store. (config/environments/production.rb)
8
* Add the following line in the Foreman::Aplication.configure block. <pre>config.cache_store = :dalli_store</pre> 
9 3 Daniel Lobato Garcia
* Reboot your server (nginx, passenger, mongrel, thin..)

If you have your own separate cache servers, just add it after the command like this: 
14
<pre>
15
config.cache_store = :dalli_store, 'cache1.myserver.com', 'cache2.myserver.com'
16
</pre>
17
 Memcached can be used to manage sessions, just add something like this to your config/initializers/session_store.rb:
18
<pre>
19
require 'action_dispatch/middleware/session/dalli_store'
20
Rails.application.config.session_store :dalli_store, :memcache_server => ['host1', 'host2'], :namespace => 'sessions', :key => '_foundation_session', :expire_after => 20.minutes
21
</pre>
