Question

I have configured CakePHP 2.1 to use Memcache .
But debugkit insists on using Filecache.
Is there any way to make it use Memcache instead ?

There seem to be no mention of a way to configure this at

• http://cakephp.lighthouseapp.com/projects/42880/docs-configuration
• https://github.com/cakephp/debug_kit

Answer 1

I found the answer after interacting with the author of the plugin.
It was quite simple as I imagined, It just wasn’t given in the documentation.
The answer can be found at this link, the hint was given by the author himself.

So we can set the config in core.php like so

/**
 * Configure Debug kit to use Memcache instead of File cache
 */
Cache::config('debug_kit', array(
    'engine' => $engine,
    'prefix' => $prefix . 'debug_kit',
    'path' => CACHE . 'debug_kit' . DS,
    'serialize' => ($engine === 'File'),
    'duration' => $duration
));

Where $engine can be any caching engine.

PS : I have requested the author to add it to the documentation
