In this blog we will see how to use redis as session management for bagisto. We recommend you to check out our last blog, in which we implement Redis for cache management for bagisto.
Versions
- Bagisto – 1.1.2
- Redis – 5.4.0
- Ubuntu – 18.04
Configuration
Step1. Install Redis:-
|
1 2 |
apt update apt install redis-server |
Step2. Install the predis/predis package via composer:-
|
1 |
composer require predis/predis |
Step3. The redis configuation for bagisto is present inside config/database.php. Open the file and browse to redis array at the end and make the following changes:-
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
'redis' => [ 'client' => 'predis', 'default' => [ 'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'), 'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null), 'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379), 'database' => env('REDIS_DB', 0), ], 'session' => [ 'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'), 'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null), 'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379), 'database' => env('REDIS_CACHE_DB', 2), ], ], |
Step4. The session configuration file for bagisto is located inside config/session.php Now open this file and make the following changes:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 |

Step5. Now the final step, go to bagisto root, edit the .env file and make the following changes:-
|
1 |
SESSION_DRIVER=redis |
and we are done here, Now it’s time to test whether redis is working as session management for our bagisto or not.
The best and most simplest way to check is by running;-
|
1 |
redis-cli monitor |
You will see the output similar to following:-
And to check the session stored in our redis database:-
Selecting database 2 as defined in config/database.php
We have successfully integrated Redis for session management in bagisto.
