Issue configuration Redis

[Xadeon]

Hello,

I have tried to get Redis working alongside OpenLiteSpeed, but despite my research and efforts, I have not been able to find a solution to my problem.

First, to clarify right away:
• I have full access, it’s my server
• Port 6379 is open
• I am using /home/admin/.redis/redis.sock for the connection (although localhost works… when it works)
• I am using WooCommerce with the LiteSpeed plugin
• Redis is enabled in the DirectAdmin panel for the user
• I installed OpenLiteSpeed, Redis, and php-redis via CustomBuild
• I have done extensive research and various tests without finding a solution, whether in the docs, on Google, assisted by ChatGPT, or on this forum.

Basically, the problem is that I am forced to run the “redis-server” command to establish a connection to Redis, even though the “[email protected]” service is running and listening for a connection. I also tried setting it to start automatically on boot, but without success — after a reboot, it no longer works.

I can only get the connection to work with this method. I’ve tried reinstalling Redis several times.

Do you have any suggestions? A deep cleanup and a step-by-step reinstallation?

I don’t think I’ve missed anything, but I feel like the configuration with DirectAdmin isn’t always as straightforward as it should be.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing looks wrong with this at first glance. What Linux distribution?

It's weird that localhost connects. Do you see an entry for /home/admin/.redis/redis.sock in `ss -np | grep redis`?

Thank you for your answer

No but I have this :

For information, when I ask the service

But if ping Redis :

Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused

I also have a 503 error if I try to access the Openlitespeed admin panel, I don't know if that can play a role. I had in the testing phase, tested the openlitespeed/redis configuration with CyberPanel before taking a Directadmin license. I had excellent results in a few clicks. Here I lost efficiency but maybe it's because Redis is not functional, so I'm still leaning towards a configuration problem somewhere.

But if ping Redis :

Ping should never work for the DirectAdmin managed Redis, as it will bind it to the unix socket only. The correct solution is to use the redis-cli.

/usr/local/bin/redis-cli -s /home/admin/.redis/redis.sock ping

Try restarting the [email protected]. If that fails, seems like a bug possibly.

Try port=0 for the socket redis.
