Can't install PHPREDIS on PHP7 with Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I'm using PHP7 on ubuntu 14.04. Here is my PHP version information from terminal(using command PHP -v).

PHP 7.0.11-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (cli) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.11-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies

I downloaded phpredis from php7 branch( https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/tree/php7 ) & followed the following commands to install as it has mentioned in readme.

phpize
./configure
make && make install

But, I'm getting following error just after executing the command make && make install

make: *** [redis.lo] Error 1

I've also created one issue about this at PHPREDIS github repository ( https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/issues/958 ).

Don't know what's going wrong at here.

Answer 1

please try this way.

1. Delete the existing PHP-Redis extension and clean

2. Install required package (skip if you already installed php7)

apt-get install php7.0-dev

3. Download PhpRedis

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/php7.zip -O phpredis.zip

4. Unpack, compile and install PhpRedis

unzip -o /tmp/phpredis.zip && mv /tmp/phpredis-* /tmp/phpredis && cd /tmp/phpredis && phpize && ./configure && make && sudo make install

Now it is necessary to add compiled extension to PHP config

5. Add PhpRedis extension to PHP 7

sudo touch /etc/php/mods-available/redis.ini && echo extension=redis.so > /etc/php/mods-available/redis.ini
sudo ln -s /etc/php/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/redis.ini
sudo ln -s /etc/php/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/redis.ini
sudo ln -s /etc/php/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/redis.ini

6. Restart PHP-FPM

sudo service php7.0-fpm restart

7. Restart Apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Note: if you are using Nginx there is no need to restart it because in most cases it works wit PHP-FPM. You can check successfully installed PhpRedis with command below

php -r "if (new Redis() == true){ echo \"OK \r\n\"; }"

Answer 2

Huh.. Finally, I've solved the issue. I think, I'd some problem in my php7.0-dev configuration. So reinstall it by using apt-get install php7.0-dev . After that use following commands -

sudo make
sudo make install

Then in php.ini file I added the path of redis.so extension link. Ex -

extension=/usr/lib/php/20151012/redis.so (path is system dependent)

That's it. It fixed the thing.

@Renjith VR : Thanks for the reply. It really helped me fig out the issue.
