Enable Object Cache in WordPress with Redis

[LadyDiana]

Hello! Can you please confirm which settings should we use in order to enable Object Cache in our WordPress sites with Redis?

Following these instructions (https://blog.hawkhost.com/2017/10/20/introducing-cpanel-application-manager-redis-support/), in our HawkHost CPanel:

• Server Application Manager -> Redis enabled.
• PHP Selector | extensions -> Redis active.

In our WordPress plugins, I have set up these settings:

• Method: Redis
• Host: /home/ourusername/.applicationmanager/redis.sock
• Port: 0 (As HawkHost uses UNIX)
• Default Object Lifetime: 360 seconds
• Password: (leave blank)
• Redis Database ID: 0

Also these options enabled:

• Persistent Connection: ON
• Store Transients: ON

I have tested with https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/redis-cache/. But with both, right now I'm getting that Redis Extension: Disabled/Not Found, so any assistance would be really appreciated. Many thanks!

Thanks to Tony, please check that MultiPHP Manager -> PHP Version -> inherit in all your sites.

Redis working perfectly and my site feels faster. Thank you!

any updates for php7_2 ?

Memcache support for php 7.2:
https://pecl.php.net/package/memcached/3.0.4
https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached

Redis:
https://pecl.php.net/package/redis/4.0.2/windows
https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis

There are stable memcached and redis packages for PHP 7.2 so both are optional extensions under the select php version option in our cPanel.
