PhpRedis for PHP 7 (Skip it if you have different PHP version)

Install required package

apt-get install php7.0-dev

Download PhpRedis

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/php7.zip -O phpredis.zip

But, https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/php7.zip file not found for installation.

Solution 1

Try to use this url https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/5.2.2.zip

wget https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/5.2.2.zip -O phpredis.zip

Or use this command:

sudo apt-get install php-redis

Solution 2

Yesterday, I installed Redis on my Vagrant box (/etc/php/7.0):

• sudo pecl install redis
• sudo service php7.0-fpm restart

(optional: run php -m for listing the php modules).

Now, you can use the Redis class in your php code.

Solution 3

I found a repository from ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install php-redis

• Restart apache after installation.

Solution 4

I just ran the command below for Cent os 7

yum install php-redis

Resolved my issue and i added the config in php.ini manualy

You should add "extension=redis.so" to php.ini

Solution 5

For people who are using MAMP, you want to execute the pecl installer from withing MAMP. This follows the installment from https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/blob/develop/INSTALL.markdown.

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.3.9/bin/pecl install redis

Change the php version to yours.

After successfully installing, will probably say something like this:

configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=redis.so" to php.ini

So you need to go to your php.ini, and add extension=redis.so.

For me, this folder is: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.3.9/conf/php.ini

After restarting your MAMP, you will see a redis module on this page (ports might not be the same): http://localhost:8888/MAMP/index.php?language=English&page=phpinfo

I had to do some extra work: after sudo pecl install redis: echo "extension=redis.so" > /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini && ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-redis.ini && ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-redis.ini. Then sudo service php7.0-fpm restart && sudo apache2ctl restart was successful.

If you have PHP 7.3 with Nginx: then sudo pecl install redis: echo "extension=redis.so" > /etc/php/7.3/mods-available/redis.ini && ln -sf /etc/php/7.3/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.3/fpm/conf.d/20-redis.ini && ln -sf /etc/php/7.3/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.3/cli/conf.d/20-redis.ini. Then sudo service php7.0-fpm restart & sudo service nginx restart
