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.
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:
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!
