Here's how I enabled access to a Redis server from my (GS) gridserver:<\/p>\n

1. Store your SITEID in a variable:<\/p>\n

export SITEID=`pwd | awk -F\\\/ '{ print $3 }'`<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
2. Create a folder to store the redis.so module<\/p>\n
mkdir \/home\/$SITEID\/data\/lib\nmkdir \/home\/$SITEID\/data\/lib\/php\/<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
3. Get the Redis PECL package (2.2.4 is the latest as of now)<\/p>\n
wget http:\/\/pecl.php.net\/get\/redis-2.2.4.tgz<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
4. Uncompress it<\/p>\n
tar -xvzf redis-2.2.4.tgz\ncd redis-2.2.4<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
5. Compile it. I've set my (gs) to use PHP 5.5.5; change your accordingly<\/p>\n
.\/configure --with-php-config=\/usr\/local\/php-5.5.5\/bin\/php-config\nmake<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
6. "install" the module<\/p>\n
cp modules\/*.so \/home\/$SITEID\/data\/lib\/php<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
7. Add the following to your \/home\/SITEID\/etc\/php.ini<\/p>\n
;PECL\nextension_dir=\/home\/97042\/data\/lib\/php\/\n;redisphp\nextension=redis.so<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Check it:<\/p>\n
