This guide is not working…for me…

I have installed redis object cache. Working fine.

The easiest way to install Redis. Run these commands.

apt update

apt install redis-server

apt install php-redis

systemctl enable redis-server

Then install Redis Object Cache wordpress plugin.

To verify the configuration, you can check the status of the Redis Object Cache plugin in WordPress. If it shows as connected and working, then you can proceed with modifying the Redis configuration settings as follows:

  1. Edit the Redis configuration file using the command:

vi /etc/redis/redis.conf

  1. Set the maximum memory size by adding the following line:

maxmemory 256M

  1. Set the memory policy by adding the following line:

maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru

  1. Save the changes and exit the editor.
    Restart the Redis server to apply the new configuration:

systemctl restart redis-server

After restarting the Redis server, you can verify that the changes have taken effect by checking the Redis logs or using Redis commands to inspect the configuration. If everything is configured correctly, your Redis caching should continue to work smoothly with the updated settings.

nothing works…

I have been used your provided sulotion which does not work…

===================================

But in the wordpress site, The liteSpeed Cache Plugin is showing these as disabled [this is the problem].

So, Kindly guide me to resolve it.
Thanks in advance

What is the php version your site is using? Did you click button Save Changes to apply redis conf?

Thanks for your interest to provide me support.

Site is using default 8.2 php (fpm) version…

But sir, here redis & memcached is showing disabled and I have also save this settings in LiteSpeed cache plugin’s object cache settings page. But it is not working and still showing disabled.

Was I supposed to save it some where else?

Thanks in advance

If you are using php 8.2 you must install the right redis package (php-redis package installs the package for php 8.3 version).

apt install php8.2-redis
systemctl restart php8.2-fpm

And if you use redis you shouldn’t use memcache, you should use only one of them.

You are welcome.

As I said in my previous post, you don’t need to use both, if you are using Redis there is no need to use memcached. Also, you can’t use both at the same time using that plugin.

Thank for your response.
And
Yes, I could not use both together.

But the problem is still remains that I have already installed memcached (you can see it in my previous posts). And this is not showing as enabled into cache plugins.

So, I want to solve this problem too.

Kindly guide me about this.

Thank in advance

If you won’t use memcached, there is no need to install and/or enable it.

Anyway, install the extension:

apt install php8.2-memcached
