Install Redis Server and PHP Redis on Ubuntu Server

**shunavi** · 02-06-2013, 01:54 AM

I tested on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit server edition, it should work well in other versions

1) Install Redis server

Earlier today I was looking for an alternative repository for Redis and luckily I ran into Dotdeb. They have a bunch of nice packages, always up to date with the very latest version.

In order to get in on this goodness you must first add the Dotdeb repositories to your APT sources. Create a new list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and fill it with the following content.

Create new file:

Code:

$ vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.org.list

Then add these lines to this file

Code:

# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.org.list
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all

Then you need to authenticate these repositories using their public key.

Code:

wget -q -O - http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

And finally, update your APT cache and install Redis.

Code:

$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install redis-server

You got Redis server working with these credentials:

Code:

Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 6379

2) Preparation for install PHP Redis extension

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install php5-dev

php5-dev provides the dev library as well as the phpize command which is required for the compiling step

3) Get phpredis source code, should be pretty easy by running

Install git

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install git

Get phpredis source

Code:

$ git clone git://github.com/nicolasff/phpredis.git

4) Compile and install

Code:

cd phpredis
phpize
./configure
make
sudo -s make install

5) Enable the phpredis extension

Code:

sudo -s
echo "extension=redis.so">/etc/php5/conf.d/redis.ini
exit

6) Restart server

To make sure everything is working well, you have to restart server/vps.

Code:

$ sudo reboot

7) Write a simple php script to test (running on cli would be fine if php5-cli is installed)

PHP Code:


<?php

$redis=new Redis() or die("Can not load redis.");

$redis->connect('127.0.0.1');

$redis->set('test_key', 1);

And now run this script, if it display blank page then you get success or just tell me
