w3 total cache high availability setup

  • Hello,

    Im trying to install the w3 total cache plugin in a High Availability type setup – (server goes down and a new one is created in its place).

    I have the plugin installed and configured but every time a new server spins up none of the settings remain persistent. So have a couple of questions for this:
    1. Is there a way to make it save settings to the database?
    2. Does the same hold true for all plugins i.e no settings are saved to database and all in a file?

    Appreciate any help or pointers that anyone could provide. Thanks

    Cheers
    J

  • Hi jfernandes16,

    You probably want to be sure the settings file is copied over to your new server before it is put into service.

    Most other plugins will save settings to the database, but since W3TC is a cache plugin, it stores its configuration locally, limiting connections to the database. Saving settings to the database would require a database call, and defeat the purpose of the plugin.

    Hi Joe,

    Thanks for that, I’ll do that. I’ll add the ~/wp-content/w3tc-config as part of my package.

    Cheers
