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. 1

    Open Redis Manager by Snappy and read the service status.

  2. 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. 3

    Configure the application’s supported object-cache integration with the confirmed settings. Test the connection before enabling it for a live site.

  4. 4

    If disabling Redis later, disable the dependent application integration first so the website does not keep trying to use a stopped service.

  5. 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. 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.
