TCP or Sockets

Thanks!

Local inter-process communication by unix domain sockets should be faster than communication by loopback localhost connections.

But I’d benchmark that to be sure ; )

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question!

I have set this in redis config file

unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 755

when I go to /var/run/redis/ the redis.sock file is there.

Then I added this to wp-config.php

define (‘WP_REDIS_SCHEME’, ‘unix’);
define (‘WP_REDIS_PATH’, ‘/var/run/redis/redis.sock’);

But now the plugin’s setting page says “Not connected”

What am I doing wrong?

I’d recommend you check your log files, or ask your web developer to have a closer look at why the connection is failing.

I am the webdeveloper and server administrator…

I will take a closer look at the log files…

Logs didn’t show anything but I found the culprit.

In Redis config file unixsocketperm 755 should be unixsocketperm 777 otherwise the plugin can’t connect through UNIX sock.

Now everything is working fine ??

Awesome, glad it’s working!
