Install Using Redis Unix sockets

Did anyone every succeed in using Redis with sockets instead of TCP?

I modified this in /etc/redis.conf:

Code:

port 0
unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 777

After a restart of Redis, the socket is created and I can do a ping:

Code:

redis-cli -s /tmp/redis.sock
redis /tmp/redis.sock> ping
PONG

Seems to be working, but when I configure Xenforo to use the socket, it fails with an error:

Code:

Fatal error: Uncaught RedisException: No such file or directory in /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/CacheFactory.php:225 Stack trace: #0 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/CacheFactory.php(225): Redis->pconnect('...', 0, 0) #1 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/CacheFactory.php(79): XF\CacheFactory->createRedisCache(Array) #2 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/CacheFactory.php(34): XF\CacheFactory->instantiate('...', Array) #3 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(689): XF\CacheFactory->create('...', Array) #4 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/Container.php(228): XF\App->XF\{closure}('', Array, Object(XF\Container)) #5 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(2509): XF\Container->create('...', '') #6 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(716): XF\App->cache('...') #7 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/Container.php(28): XF\App->XF\{closure}(Object(XF\Container)) #8 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(1789): XF\Container->offsetGet('...') #9 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/Container.php(28): XF\App->XF\{closure}(Object(XF\Container)) #10 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(1573): XF\Container->offsetGet('...') #11 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/Container.php(28): XF\App->XF\{closure}(Object(XF\Container)) #12 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(2828): XF\Container->offsetGet('...') #13 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(2856): XF\App->extension() #14 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(361): XF\App->extendClass('...') #15 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/Container.php(28): XF\App->XF\{closure}(Object(XF\Container)) #16 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(228): XF\Container->offsetGet('...') #17 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/Container.php(28): XF\App->XF\{closure}(Object(XF\Container)) #18 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(2453): XF\Container->offsetGet('...') #19 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/Error.php(422): XF\App->request() #20 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/Error.php(376): XF\Error->getExceptionTraceHtml(Object(RedisException)) #21 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/App.php(2360): XF\Error->displayFatalExceptionMessage(Object(RedisException)) #22 /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF.php(197): XF\App->displayFatalExceptionMessage(Object(RedisException)) #23 [internal function]: XF::handleException(Object(RedisException)) #24 {main} thrown in /home/nginx/domains/website/public/src/XF/CacheFactory.php on line 225

I know the socket config should work, as I have used the same setup on another host which was shared hosting. But they also used Redis sockets.
Just can't figure out why this wouldn't work.

Good one, I checked this but open_basedir was already commented out.

 

Ok, yes performance was the reason for me to try this. I read some article about it.
But if you say it is not worth it, I believe you
