In the previous post “Install Redis on Amazon EC2 Server” we had seen the process to install Redis on the server. In this article we will see how to integarte the Redis with Magento1.x
There are few php extension we need to install before we do integration with Magento. In my case my php version is 5.6.x.
PhpRedis - PHP extension from Nicolas Favre-Felix, which allows to access to Redis from php. This extension we need to install.
To install the above extension we need to make sure that pear library is installed. To install pear below are the steps :
yum install php-pear
Install necessary packages
yum install php56-devel // This is applicable if you having PHP 5.6 version
Now to install phpRedis we need to download the package
cd /usr/local/src
sudo wget https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/master.zip -O phpredis.zip
sudo unzip phpredis.zip
cd phpredis
sudo phpize && sudo ./configure && sudo make && sudo make install
After the installation is complete we need to enable the Redis extension in the php.ini . Using phpinfo you can get to know where is your php.ini and other extensions ini files are located.
In my case the php extension ini files are located this path /etc/php-5.6.d/. create a file by name redis.ini and add the extension in that
sudo vi /etc/php-5.6.d/redis.ini
Add the below line code to it and save
extension=redis.so
Configure Magento1.9.x with Redis
Go to your magento root and open the below file
sudo vi app/etc/modules/Cm_RedisSession.xml
Enable it by setting active to true
<config>
<modules>
<Cm_RedisSession>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>community</codePool>
</Cm_RedisSession>
</modules>
</config>
Then, edit the ‘local.xml’ file located in magento directory
vi /magento-root-dirrectory/app/etc/local.xml

Clear all the cache and sessions and Flush Magento Cache
rm -rf /var/www/html/magento/var/session/*
rm -rf /var/www/html/magento/var/cache/*
Login to Admin > System > Cache Management
Click “Flush Magento Cache”
Now restart the Redis server
service redis-server restart
Check if Redis is working or not
redis-cli ping
If the result is PONG .. be happy its working
To get the information and statistics of Redis server
redis-cli info
Hope this article would be helpful..
