My Django Settings.py like that:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.PyLibMCCache',
        #'LOCATION': os.environ['MEMCACHED']
        'LOCATION': "127.0.0.1",
         #"BINARY" : True,
    },
}
SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST = True
SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache'
SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = True
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 0

I store my sessions on memcached. But, the cache expire time allway 300s!!

As django document, they say SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 0 means never timeout, but it no used for the cache timeout?

So, now i want make the session cache never timeout until browser close?

Do not tell me only set SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE, because i store the sessions in memcached, the cache has a expire time too.I want the cache never expire.

Thanks.

I find the reason!

There has CACHES in Settings.py.When you use memcached to store the session, and set SESSION_COOKIE_AGE=0. Django will use the default timeout(300s) for each cache.

If u want the set the cache never timeout, you need add TIMEOUT=0 into CACHES

  • You can set TIMEOUT to None so that, by default, cache keys never expire. A value of 0 causes keys to immediately expire (effectively “don’t cache”). – Meilo Jun 20 '19 at 07:13

EDIT : I found this post from 2006 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-users/oLZTAAA6wVE Try putting this setting in your app's settings.py.

I think you could put an expiration time very far away (like 2050 for example) and it should work. Try maybe, who knows :p.
