`collectstatic` error: Memcached or S3? about cookiecutter-django HOT 9 CLOSED

I have the same issue. Any suggestions gratefully received.

from cookiecutter-django.

I've fixed this now.

First add django-pylibmc-sasl==0.2.4 to requirements.txt.

Then in settings.py replace the "CACHING" section at the end of the file with:

    ########## CACHING
    # Only do this here because thanks to django-pylibmc-sasl and pylibmc memcacheify is painful to install on windows.

    os.environ['MEMCACHE_SERVERS'] = os.environ.get('MEMCACHIER_SERVERS', '')
    os.environ['MEMCACHE_USERNAME'] = os.environ.get('MEMCACHIER_USERNAME', '')
    os.environ['MEMCACHE_PASSWORD'] = os.environ.get('MEMCACHIER_PASSWORD', '')

    CACHES = {
      'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_pylibmc.memcached.PyLibMCCache',
        'LOCATION': os.environ.get('MEMCACHIER_SERVERS', ''),
        'TIMEOUT': 500,
        'BINARY': True,
        'OPTIONS': { 'tcp_nodelay': True }
      }
    }

    ########## END CACHING

It should now work fine on Heroku.

Any reason for not doing this django-configuration style?

from cookiecutter-django.

Sorry, no reason. Was just in a rush to get something working!

I'm actually now replacing it with a redis cache since pylibmc isn't Python 3 compatible.

from cookiecutter-django.

Hmm - forgot that boto is in this setup. Looks like Python 3 will have to wait a bit longer....

@geeljire @knitatoms https://github.com/rdegges/django-heroku-memcacheify should be able to help you out. It's a one line configuration.

@pydanny if you think it can be included here, I can send a PR! The only issue is you need to install lib-memcached before you can install this.

from cookiecutter-django.

@theskumar A PR sounds great. Please include documentation on setting up lib-memcached.

from cookiecutter-django.

@pydanny @geeljire this issue is resolved can we close this please.

from cookiecutter-django.

Thanks @theskumar. Closing.
