Few days back we have installed Redis in Amazon cloud server and integrating it with Magento. So I thought of sharing the process if it could help anyone.
Before we move on installation we need to understand what is Redis.
What is Redis ?
Redis in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker. It supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes with radius queries.
Reference : https://redis.io/
Steps to setup of Redis
To install Redis we need follow below steps:
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y install gcc make /*Required packages for compilation from source*/
Download the latest version of Redis from the website https://redis.io/
cd /usr/local/src
sudo mkdir redis_install
sudo wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-3.6.tar.gz
sudo tar xzf redis-3.6.tar.gz
cd redis-3.6
sudo make distclean && sudo make
Create Directories to copy the redis configuration file .
sudo mkdir /etc/redis
sudo mkdir /var/lib/redis
sudo mkdir /var/redis/
sudo cp src/redis-server src/redis-cli /usr/local/bin
sudo cp redis.conf /etc/redis/redis.conf
Now its time to edit the redis configuration file
sudo vi /etc/redis/redis.conf
You can edit the below settings
#Your redis server will only listen to connections made to the address specified in via the bind option
bind 127.0.0.1
#By default Redis does not run as a daemon. Use 'yes' if you need it.
daemonize yes
# All the log related to Redis will be logged here
logfile "/var/log/redis.log"
dir /var/redis/
Download and install the init script
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saxenap/install-redis-amazon-linux-centos/master/redis-server
sudo mv redis-server /etc/init.d
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/redis-server
sudo vi /etc/init.d/redis-server
In the configuration file you set the path of the redis configuration file.
REDIS_CONF_FILE="/etc/redis/redis.conf"
sudo chkconfig --add redis-server
sudo chkconfig --level 345 redis-server on
sudo service redis-server start
Auto-enable and start the Redis server
Below command will create the new file if it does not exist.
sudo vi /etc/systctl.conf
Add the below code this file
vm.overcommit_memory = 1
systctl vm.overcommit_memory=1
Now you can test if the redis server is running or not .
redis-cli ping
If you received “PONG” response it means you are done ..
To configure Magento with Redis please follow the next blog “Configure Magento with Redis“.
Happy integration 🙂
