Resolved Redis module for PHP 7.0.1 and 7.0.2

[trialotto]

@Everyone interested,

I have compiled and tested a redis module that works like a charm on PHP 7.0.1.

I have added a ZIP file, with two files:

- redis.so (the redis module for PHP 7.0.1)
- redis.php (a test script to check yourselves whether the module is working)

The module can be installed by following the steps:

a) upload the ZIP file to a directory on your server

b) run from the command line: echo "extension=<path to directory>/redis.so" > /opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.d/redis.ini

Note: do not forget to use the proper path to the directory in which the file redis.so resides. You can use any directory to your liking.

c) run from the command line: plesk bin php_handler --reread

and that´s all, unless you want to use the test script:

d) move redis.php to the httpdocs directory of any domain to your liking,

e) open a browser and access http://<domain>/redis.php and the output should indicate a "yes".


As a final remark, note that this module

- is based upon phpredis
- has been created and tested very quickly, no guarantees, but it should work like a charm,
- is forwards compatible to PHP version 7.0.3 (dev),
- is NOT an official Plesk module (!)

In the case of questions, just mail, post or start a personal conversation with me.

Regards....

Thank you so much for this! Let's hope Redis makes it into PHP 7 in Plesk

I just installed, seems to work fine. I'm a beginner and had a hard time getting it to work. It would show as an active module in PHP 7 settings, but the wordpress plugin kept saying the redis php module was missing.

So i tried deactivating the module and Plesk gave me an error stating a missing file (redis.so) in the modules folder.

So I copied the redis.so to the modules folder... and I guess it works

Activated the Wordpress plugin and voila, no errors!

Now how can we monitor Redis?

@PTOEM,

A Redis Monitor, that can be installed as a Plesk extension and therefore used from the Plesk Panel, is on the "project list".

Still work in progress, next to a number of other relevant extension projects.

Time can be harsh, there is never enough of it.

But I will provide the extension, if and as soon as it becomes available.

Regards......

 

[PTOEM]

That would be splendid!

 

[trialotto]

Indeed, it would.

The problem is that the list of "projects" is becoming longer and longer and, to illustrate, the following list:

1 - an update of the various caching modules (redis/memcached)
2 - OpenDKIM/DMARC/SPF,
3 - DMARC Report panel,
4 - Nginx SDK,
5 - Nginx Security (i.e. increasing security via Nginx)
6 - CDN SDK
7 - Dynamic IP blacklist (i.e. central webservice to share bad IPs amongst Plesk servers and block them)
8 - OPCache Panel (i.e. management and performance reports)

and so on.

In short, quite a long list.

Any preference in the priority of one or more of those projects? Feedback is always welcome!

Regards....

Here is my list

1 - an update of the various caching modules (redis/memcached)
2 - Nginx Security (i.e. increasing security via Nginx)
3 - Dynamic IP blacklist (i.e. central webservice to share bad IPs amongst Plesk servers and block them)
4 - OPCache Panel (i.e. management and performance reports)

I would love to get this working but I am not succesfull up untill now. I have done the following:

1. created /bin/redis7.d/redis.so
2. ran echo "extension=/bin/redis7.d/redis.so" > /opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.d/redis.ini
3. checked redis.ini and correct filepath is there
4. ran plesk bin php_handler --reread
5. restarted server

Uploaded redis.php to site.

When calling this file the only thing I get is a blank page. Any other things I could try?

I can see redis in the PHP Settings of PHP7 in Plesk Panel.

EDIT!!! I got it working bij putting the extension=/bin/redis7.d/redis.so in the PHP settings for the domain.

Thanks!

can we use this redis module with php 7.0.6

I've tried out multiple times this tutorial and it works fine:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/plesk/php/7.0/lib64/php/modules/redis.so' - /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /opt/plesk/php/7.0/lib64/php/modules/redis.so) in Unknown on line 0

It seems this is for CentOS 7 / newer Debian|Ubuntu? ;-)

Hi StéphanS,

/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

your message just points out, that the program was compiled with glibc version 2.14 and on your server is a lower libc6 - package installed. You have two possibilities: Either compile redis with the version used on your server, or update your libc6 - package on your server.

Hi StéphanS,

hehe, I know, but updating libc6 doesn't seem like a trivial task / a good idea.

I compiled my own yesterday using:

cd /opt/plesk/php/7.0/include/php/ext
wget -O phpredis-php7.zip https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/php7.zip
unzip phpredis-php7.zip
rm -fv phpredis-php7.zip
cd phpredis-php7
/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php-config
export CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
make
make install
ls -la /opt/plesk/php/7.0/lib64/php/modules/redis.so
/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php -v
/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php -i | grep redis
echo 'extension=redis.so' > /opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.d/redis.ini
plesk bin php_handler --reread

Edit of my post: Got PHP Redis compiled and working on CentOS 7 and Plesk 12.5.

The problem was I haven't installed the needed librarys.
So on a fresh server this is the command to get it working:

yum update
yum install make plesk-php70-devel gcc glibc-devel zlib-devel
cd /opt/plesk/php/7.0/include/php/ext
wget -O phpredis-php7.zip https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/php7.zip
unzip phpredis-php7.zip
rm -fv phpredis-php7.zip
cd phpredis-php7
/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php-config
export CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
make
make install
ls -la /opt/plesk/php/7.0/lib64/php/modules/redis.so
echo "extension=redis.so" >/opt/plesk/php/7.0/etc/php.d/redis.ini
/usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler --reread

Hello,

will the ZIP package in first post work with Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS and php 7.0.9 (Plesk 12.5) ? Or only with CentOS ?

Thanks for a answer.

 

[trialotto]

@Joachim_Weisse

It should work fine with php 7.0.9 and the OS is not really relevant: any deb (Ubuntu/Debian) or rpm (CentOS/Rhel etc) based OS should be possible.

Regards.....

PS I still have to update the package, I will do so if and when I have time.

Anyone manage to get phpredis 3.0.0 working? Plesk won't let me install it using pecl because PHP 5 is the default.

Anyone manage to get phpredis 3.0.0 working? Plesk won't let me install it using pecl because PHP 5 is the default.

Use PHP7 pecl - /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/pecl

 

[mgsolidus]

Use PHP7 pecl - /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/pecl

What exactly are the commands I should be using? Because I cannot install phpredis 3.0.0 using pecl.

/tmp/redis/common.h:3:43: fatal error: ext/standard/php_smart_string.h: No such file or directory
#include <ext/standard/php_smart_string.h>
                                           ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [redis.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed

 

[mgsolidus]

And even if I do install php-devel for PHP7, this error will show,

 /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/pecl install redis
downloading redis-3.0.0.tgz ...
Starting to download redis-3.0.0.tgz (189,720 bytes)

20 source files, building
running: phpize
Can't find PHP headers in /usr/include/php
The php-devel package is required for use of this command.
ERROR: `phpize' failed

forcing me to install php-devel for PHP 5.4, and thus, phpredis 2.
