Django-mingus Memcache Errors

The problem

I’ve been experimenting with the Django-mingus blog engine lately. There are a lot of things I really like about it and some things I’ve been changing. Which is easy thanks to it just being a collection of reusable apps. After installing a second instance of Mingus for my brothers new blog, lifeaszenos.com, either site would pull from the cache of the other. So at different times you would see content from site1 on site2 and vise versa. I tried lots of different things but could never get the cache not to mix the sites up. I think its because of the way some of the apps are implementing their caching but I don’t really know yet.

The solution

Change the cache backend of one of the sites to not use memcache. Until I can track it down further its a fix.
