Redis as php session handler and object cache (what's the difference?)

v3
#1

I have installed redis and php-redis by apt-get install php-redis. It enabled redis extension for wordpres. But not added any lines in redis.ini

I have to enable object cache for 30+sites.so editing every config.php and installing plugin on every site not a good idea.

How redis communicate with MySQL.

Just installed redis and php extension. I don’t know what to do now?

Please explain

You must edit every single wp-config.php. There is no easy path to illumination.

Hello,

Do you use EasyEngine or not ? Because EE install automatically redis, and the php-redis extension, and when you create a wordpress instance with the flag --wpredis, it will also add the WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT into wp-config.php.

No I am.not using easyengine. But how to get ee script may I need to learn about this. How redis deal with mysql caching.

I have enabled query cache in mysql which is 64mb. Is this causes issues with redis. Mysql response time is 100ms according to newrelic. Threre is no slow mysql queries which I set to 1 Ms.

Finally noticed cloudflare routing from France to DO Bangalore causing high ttfb like 0.5- 1second.

Routing in India needs to paid subscription.

I guess session handler related to user login data May I right?

So enabling for every site overhead task.

What if I use w3 total cache to store object cache in redis. Is this works? Will w3tc automate the task?

If I know about ee early. I may save lot of time especially money.

Any command to add wp cache key salt to all wp sites.

Is wp-cli helps?

#6

No, you have to edit every single wp-config.php by hand. Specially because you don’t use EasyEngine.

#7

If I install easyengine, is it compatible with existing server.

#8

No, EE requires an empty server, with just Ubuntu 16.04 Minimal. It will then install and configure all needed packages.

It might work with your pre-installed server and vhosts, but all odds are against you. You better spend your chances on lottery than on expecting EE to work on top of a previously installed system.

If you had installed Predis to configure PHP redis cache, then you would only need to edit your index.php file after the installation to configure it. I would recommend you to use Predis because it is easy to install and configure. You can easily install it using following command

git clone git://github.com/nrk/predis.git
