Hi,

My host informs me that he will use a cluster of 3 servers and pages will be randomly processed by one of those. Could this be a problem for Couch ? I'm not sure if sessions are influenced when the server is switching from one to an other.

Thanks.

It would probably be best to ask the host, but you can conduct a simple test:

Code: Select all

<?php

if (!session_id())
    @session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['test']))
    $_SESSION['test'] = rand();

echo $_SESSION['test'];

If the page outputs the same value after multiple refreshes, I think you can conclude that the session is maintained across the servers.

Thanks,

I did asked the provider about this ... it seems to switch from server very rarely and only when there is to much traffic on one of the servers. Anyhow I will test with your code from time to time to see if this is an issue for me.

Thanks

Tom,

The core code of Couch doesn't make much use of sessions.
Notable exceptions that do depend on sessions are -
1. CouchCart
2. cms:set_session/cms:get_session tags
3. Captcha

so if you are not using any of the above mentioned features, I think you should be just fine.
