Redis

Redis is an in memory data structure storage. It will be used to share PHP-sessions between the apache servers. To guarantee a robust deployment three redis servers will be configured.

• 192.168.1.59 redis01
• 192.168.1.60 redis02
• 192.168.1.61 redis03

Software

apt-get install redis-server redis-sentinel

Configuration

Redis Server

Change the contents of the redis configuration file in /etc/redis/redis.conf.

Add the IP-address for each of the servers. Each of the redis servers needs to listen on its own IP-address.

bind 192.168.1.59 127.0.0.1 ::1

Enable redis to listen on the network, instead of only listening on the loopback device.

protected-mode no

Now restart the redis master

service redis-server restart

And stop the replicas

service redis-server stop

On each of the replicas, set them up af a replica of the master

replicaof 192.168.1.59

Start the replicas again

services redis-server start
