I am running a cherrypy application using my own session based of RamSession behind nginx. The problem is the session id changes on every request. I believe the problem is every time a request is made it goes to a different worker and thus the session is saved, but it is not recognized in the next request by the next available worker (limited knowledge on how things work unfortunately). When I set the number of workers to 1 then everything works as expected. I know I can probably use FileSession or any type of DB based session handler, but just wanted to know if there is a solution for this. Thanks
Here is my upstart script:
description "uwsgi tiny instance"
start on runlevel [12345]
stop on runlevel [06]
exec /home/web/.virtualenvs/myenv/bin/uwsgi --uid web -H /home/web/.virtualenvs/myenv -w myapp.wsgi -p 1 -M -s 127.0.0.1:3031
Here is my session:
class MySession(sessions.RamSession):
def clean_up(self):
"""Clean up expired sessions."""
now = self.now()
for id, (data, expiration_time) in copyitems(self.cache):
if expiration_time <= now:
try:
active = Mongo(ActiveSession).find_one('active', self.cache['active'])
Mongo(ActiveSession).remove(active)
except:
print "Failed to remove active session object."
try:
del self.cache[id]
except KeyError:
pass
try:
del self.locks[id]
except KeyError:
pass
# added to remove obsolete lock objects
for id in list(self.locks):
if id not in self.cache:
self.locks.pop(id, None)
and my config:
config = {
'/static': {
'tools.staticdir.on': True,
'tools.staticdir.dir': os.path.join(current_dir, 'media/public')
},
'/fotos': {
'tools.staticdir.on': True,
'tools.staticdir.dir': os.path.join(current_dir, 'media/fotos')
},
'/' : {
'tools.sessions.on': True,
'tools.sessions.name': 'myapp'
'tools.sessions.storage_type': 'my',
'engine.autoreload_on': False
}
}
