Redis Object Cache – Connection test failed

Hi,

besides the extension , you will also need to have redis server process running

you can verify by below php script:

< ? php
$redis = new Redis();
$redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
$res = $redis->ping();
echo $res;

please see what it returns

best regards,

Hi @qtwrk

thank you so much for your quick reply!
I already got back in touch with my shared hosting provider regarding your response. They informed me now that they do not have such a process for Shared Hosting services.

But their servers are running on LiteSpeed and object cache is supported. Despite the failed connection to Redis or Memcached, I can still use the object cache with LiteSpeed cache, they told me.

Can you confirm that the enabled object cache is working although the LS Cache Plugin shows no connection to redis or memcached?

The object cache file under public_html/wp-content exists and was last updated at around 12 a.m. within public_html.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your efforts in advance!

no , if they don’t have redis process, then your object cache won’t work

it needs that process to store the object

it is better to disable object cache if connection failed , so plugin won’t try to connect each time a request is coming in which is perfectly waste of itme.

@qtwrk

well thats good to know!
As redis or memcached is not available for my shared hosting, I noticed that the plugin “docket cache” offers an object cache-function without using redis or memcached.

One last question: Would you recommend using this plugin together with LS Cache Plugin – whose object cache is disabled?

thank you so much for your great support!
