This guide is intended for advanced users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These instructions are written specifically for Laravel 9. They may not work for older versions of Laravel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer Redis on all our web hosting accounts<\/a> and Agency<\/a> services. We run Redis via socket on our servers, thus Laravel needs to be reconfigured to use it for e.g.<\/em> queue workers (as Laravel usually expects Redis to be run on a specific port). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set up a Laravel worker, please refer to these instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Begin by entering that the Predis Composer package<\/a> is required by the project. I.e.<\/em>, run the following command in the root of your project:
    composer require predis\/predis<\/code>
    This is needed since the PECL version of phpredis cannot be used to access Redis via socket.<\/li>
  2. Under the Redis settings in the config\/database.php<\/code> file of the project, add the following rows for scheme<\/code> and path<\/code>:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    'default' => [\n             'url' => env('REDIS_URL'),\n             'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),\n             'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),\n             'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', '6379'),\n             'database' => env('REDIS_DB', '0'),\n             'scheme' => env('REDIS_SCHEME', 'tcp'),\n             'path' => env('REDIS_PATH', ''),\n         ],\n'cache' => [\n             'url' => env('REDIS_URL'),\n             'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),\n             'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),\n             'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', '6379'),\n             'database' => env('REDIS_CACHE_DB', '1'),\n             'scheme' => env('REDIS_SCHEME', 'tcp'),\n             'path' => env('REDIS_PATH', ''),\n         ],<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    1. In your .env<\/code> file for the project, replace all lines beginning with REDIS_*<\/code> with the following:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      REDIS_CLIENT=predis\nREDIS_SCHEME=unix\nREDIS_PATH=\/tmp\/redis\nREDIS_PASSWORD=null\nREDIS_PORT=0<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      1. To use Redis for queue management, update QUEUE_CONNECTION<\/code> to redis<\/code> according to the default settings for Redis in Laravel<\/a>. You can set redis<\/code> as both CACHE_DRIVER<\/code> and SESSION_DRIVER<\/code>.<\/li>
      2. Clear the cache for all settings by running php artisan config:cache<\/code>. This will apply the settings according to the instructions above.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        If anything is added to the queue, Redis will manage it from now on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
