To use redis as a cache you can have something like: // requires phpredis extension for PHP $wgObjectCaches['pecl-redis'] = array( 'class' => 'RedisBagOStuff', 'servers' => array( '127.0.0.1:6379' ), ); $wgMainCacheType = 'pecl-redis'; This would also require that the redis server would have allkeys-lru for its eviction policy in redis.conf. To use redis for a jobqueue, one can have something like: // requires phpredis extension for PHP $wgJobTypeConf['default'] = array( 'class' => 'JobQueueRedis', 'redisServer' => '127.0.0.1:6379', 'redisConfig' => array(), 'claimTTL' => 3600 ); This works best if the redis server uses rdb snapshots and/or append-only-file logging in redis.conf so that jobs are lost with power outages or restarts. -- View this message in context: http://wikimedia.7.x6.nabble.com/Information-on-MW-and-Redis-tp5005659p5005… Sent from the Wikipedia Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Note that if you already use memcached for the main cache, there isn't really any reason to switch to redis unless you need replication or persistence.
