Unable to read from cache on one node of web farm

Question

Hi there, we're having trouble reading cache items from one of the nodes in our server farm, the other node works fine (and fast!)

Not sure where to look, it seems the configuration on both machines is identical but when browsing the site from the second node, it simply increments both the request count and the miss count.

I enabled logging in the DistributedCacheService.exe.config file to try and see what's going on and I can see lots of these kinds of errors:

Processing RPFault with reason "The target node encountered a timeout in completing the operation"...

I can't see any other helpful errors in the log (I set it to log level 3)

Any help would be most appreciated, I'm not sure where else to look!

Answer 1

Hi,

Can you please check what is the exception you are getting at client side ? Is this the cache operations you are doing from your web site code or distributed cache session store provider is also enabled ?

Thanks

Hi thanks for your response. I'm not receiving any exceptions on the client that I'm aware of.. it looks like it's able to add items to the cache but not retrieve them again afterwards.. I'm using the DataCacheFactory to fire up and instance, using the local machine as the host from my website. All working ok from the other node..
