Memcached & Redis

    Hi,

    I am having trouble configuring Object Caching on my website. The website is running on a LiteSpeed server with PHP 7.2. I can enable Memcached & Redis using PHP extensions in cPanel PHP Selector.

    Both Memcached & Redis extensions show up as Enabled under LiteSpeed Cache Settings > Advanced > Object Cache. However, the Connection Test shows “Failed”.

    Why isn’t it working? Or is it working? How can I tell if Object Cache is running?

    Also, do I need Memcached & Redis daemons running on the server as well in order to be able to use this object caching? Because I’ve spoken to my hosting provider and they can’t install those, unfortunately. Only the PHP extensions.

    Regards,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    It is mandatory to install the PHP Extension and the daemon for either Memcached or Redis to work.

    PHP Extension is just the medium of communication between PHP and the actual caching server(daemon).

    Hi @ixaris,

    Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that. I will raise this up with my hosting provider to get the daemons installed.

    Maybe would be good to be a bit more specific in the LSCache documentation, regarding this issue. I couldn’t find anything that said that both are required.

    Regards,
    Alex
