Understand the two Redis controls
Distinguish Snappy Redis service startup from application-specific Redis cache configuration.
Where Tools → Software → Redis Manager by Snappy / LiteSpeed Redis Cache
Before you start
- Confirm Redis is included and that your application supports it.
- Get the correct account-specific connection method from the provider; do not copy an example socket path.
Steps
-
1
Open Redis Manager by Snappy and read the service status.
-
2
Obtain the actual socket/host, port and any required authentication from the manager or support. Keep credentials private and do not assume the example in another screen is your assigned connection.
-
3
Configure the application’s supported object-cache integration with the confirmed settings. Test the connection before enabling it for a live site.
-
4
If disabling Redis later, disable the dependent application integration first so the website does not keep trying to use a stopped service.
-
5
Start Redis starts the account service. Use it only when you intend to allocate that service, then wait for the manager to report a completed state.
This is the service startup control; it was not clicked during capture. -
6
Open LiteSpeed Redis Cache to review its integration guidance. The observed page says Redis must be configured by the administrator; it is not proof that the Snappy service is already configured.
This separate page requires administrator configuration; example paths are not account credentials.
Check it worked
- The service manager reports the intended state.
- The application confirms a successful cache connection and continues to work.
