How to install Redis on a Centos 6.4 Server

How to install redis on a Centos Server

yum install redis

service redis start

Now that was pretty simple, but lets say you want to add a second instance to your server on a different port

Add a second instance of Redis

cp redis.conf redis2.conf && cp /etc/init.d/redis /etc/init.d/redis2
vim /etc/init.d/redis2

Change

pidfile="/var/run/redis/redis.pid" to pidfile="/var/run/redis/redis2.pid"
REDIS_CONFIG="/etc/redis.conf" to REDIS_CONFIG="/etc/redis2.conf"

vim /etc/redis2.conf

Change

port 6379 to port 6380
unixsocket /tmp/redis.soc to unixsocket /tmp/redis2.sock

service redis2 start

To install a web interface for redis

cd /downloads/

git clone https://github.com/ErikDubbelboer/phpRedisAdmin.git

cd phpRedisAdmin/includes

cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php

Make sure the setting are correct

vim config.inc.php

Lets add the RedisAdmin configuration file to Apache

vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/redisadmin.conf

Now add the following

#
#  Web Interface for RedisAdmin
# 

<Directory "/downloads/phpRedisAdmin/">
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  Allow from <your ipaddress>
</Directory>

Alias /redisAdmin /downloads/phpRedisAdmin
Alias /redisadmin /downloads/phpRedisAdmin
