I was having the same exact issue today while trying to setup CakePHP to use Redis as the cache engine.
Coincidentally, I also read the same setup instructions from the two blogs you linked to.
The reason was that I had copied pasted the
Configure::write(...)
code block from the Another cake-redis config setup blog post as it is and pasted it into the file without first commenting out theConfigure::write(...)
code block that was already in the core.php file.I'm assuming that you have already successfully setup Redis on Windows and have installed the PHPRedis extension without any issues.
I am using the instructions from Another cake-redis config setup here.
In your app/Config/core.php file, comment out the following block: (this was starting at line 218 in my core.php)
Instead, you can put this in: (You can change the values to suit your particular needs)
After this, change the value of $engine to 'Redis', so it becomes:
And then, put this code in, I put this in at the very end of the file: (Again, your values can be different depending on what your setup is)
And that's it. You're done! No need to change anything else.
To make sure that Redis is working properly with CakePHP, I ran the RedisEngine Test Suite that comes with CakePHP. You need to have PHPUnit installed for this to work.
It can be accessed via http://your-cakephp-project/test.php
Click on 'Tests' under Core and then click on 'Cache/Engine/RedisEngine' If everything is working successfully, you should see all the tests pass.
Alternatively, you can use redis-cli at the command prompt to confirm that Redis is storing keys properly.
Once you have logged in by typing redis-cli, type
KEYS *
This should give you a list of keys related to your CakePHP setup.An example would be the "myapp_cake_core_object_map" key.
Hope this helps.
