Kohana Cache configuration 1

Kohana Cache uses configuration groups to create cache instances. A configuration group can use any supported driver, with successive groups using multiple instances of the same driver type.

In cases where only one cache group is required, if the group is named defaultthere is no need to pass the group name when instantiating a cache instance.

Group settings

Below are the default cache configuration groups for each supported driver. Add to- or override these settings within the application/config/cache.php file.

Name	Required	Description
driver	YES	(string) The driver type to use
default_expire	NO	(string) The driver type to use

?

'default'  => array
(
    'driver'             => 'file',
    'cache_dir'          => APPPATH.'cache/.kohana_cache',
    'default_expire'     => 3600,
),

Memcache & Memcached-tag settings

Name	Required	Description
driver	YES	(string) The driver type to use
servers	YES	(array) Associative array of server details, must include a host key. (see Memcache server configuration below)
compression	NO	(boolean) Use data compression when caching

Memcache server configuration

Name	Required	Description
host	YES	(string) The host of the memcache server, i.e. localhost; or 127.0.0.1; ormemcache.domain.tld
port	NO	(integer) Point to the port where memcached is listening for connections. Set this parameter to 0 when using UNIX domain sockets. Default 11211
persistent	NO	(boolean) Controls the use of a persistent connection. Default TRUE
weight	NO	(integer) Number of buckets to create for this server which in turn control its probability of it being selected. The probability is relative to the total weight of all servers. Default 1
timeout	NO	(integer) Value in seconds which will be used for connecting to the daemon. Think twice before changing the default value of 1 second - you can lose all the advantages of caching if your connection is too slow. Default 1
retry_interval	NO	(integer) Controls how often a failed server will be retried, the default value is 15 seconds. Setting this parameter to -1 disables automatic retry. Default 15
status	NO	(boolean) Controls if the server should be flagged as online. Default TRUE
failure_callback	NO	(callback) Allows the user to specify a callback function to run upon encountering an error. The callback is run before failover is attempted. The function takes two parameters, the hostname and port of the failed server. Default NULL
