How does Redis or Memcached work with Joomla?

 

Socket Path

To set up caching in Joomla, you first need a socket path. You can configure this in the easyname Control Panel as follows. See Link.

Redis

In the Joomla backend, you need to navigate to [System] and then [Configuration] and go to [System]. Under the section "Cache", you need to make the following configuration:

• Cache: Enabled - normal caching
• Cache Handler: Redis
• Platform Specific Caching: No
• Cache Time: 15
• Persistent Redis: Yes
• Redis Server Host: {YOUR_SOCKET_PATH}
• Redis Server Port: 0
• Redis Server Authentication: Leave empty
• Redis Database: 0

{YOUR_SOCKET_PATH} should be replaced with the socket path displayed in the easyname Control Panel under [Webhosting] in the [Caching] section.

Memcache(d)

In the Joomla backend, you need to navigate to [System] and then [Configuration] and go to [System]. Under the section "Cache", you need to make the following configuration:

• Cache: Enabled - normal caching
• Cache Handler: Memcached (Experimental)
• Platform Specific Caching: No
• Cache Time: 15
• Persistent Memcached: Yes
• Memcached Compression: No
• Memcached Server: {YOUR_SOCKET_PATH}
• Memcached Port: 11211

{YOUR_SOCKET_PATH} should be replaced with the socket path displayed in the easyname Control Panel under [Webhosting] in the [Caching] subsection.
