This is a quick guide on how to install both the Redis PHP extension as well as the daemon via SSH.

Installing the Redis daemon:

for CentOS 6/RHEL 6

rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
yum -y install redis --enablerepo=remi --disableplugin=priorities
chkconfig redis on
service redis start

for CentOS 7/RHEL 7

rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum -y install redis --enablerepo=remi --disableplugin=priorities
systemctl enable redis
systemctl start redis

Installing the Redis PHP extension for all available versions of PHP.
โ€‹Copy and paste the entire block into SSH, don't do line by line.

cd ~
wget -O redis.tgz https://pecl.php.net/get/redis
tar -xvf redis.tgz
rm -f redis.tgz
cd ~/redis*

for phpver in $(whmapi1 php_get_installed_versions|grep -oE '\bea-php.*') ; do
/opt/cpanel/"$phpver"/root/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/"$phpver"/root/usr/bin/php-config
make clean && make install
echo 'extension=redis.so' > /opt/cpanel/"$phpver"/root/etc/php.d/redis.ini
done

/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
/scripts/restartsrv_apache_php_fpm

All done! Check to make sure the PHP extension is loaded in each version of PHP:
โ€‹Copy and paste the entire block into SSH, don't do line by line.

for phpver in $(whmapi1 php_get_installed_versions|grep -oE '\bea-php.*') ; do
echo "PHP $phpver" ; /opt/cpanel/"$phpver"/root/usr/bin/php -i |grep "Redis Support"
done

Output should be:

PHP 55
Redis Support => enabled
PHP 56
Redis Support => enabled
PHP 70
Redis Support => enabled
PHP 71
Redis Support => enabled

Enjoy!
