Linux for Everyone

In the last post I have covered how to install redis server on Centos/Rhel using rpm method and yum method and some troubleshooting skills. In this post i am going to cover how to install and configure redis to run with multiple ports.                                                                           But why we need more ports ? If you have read my earlier post , you already know that by default redis runs on single port 6379, which any one can use it for small website to cache the data. But for heavy website like magento we need to use additional ports along with 6379 to serve different cache from different ports. Like in Magento there is simple cache which is normally stored under /var/cache directory. Then there is Full Page Cache which is stored under /var/full_page_cache and session cache which is stored under /var/session_cache. Note : Discussion about cache/full page cache/session is not under the scope for this document.
