Using PHP Redis as Session Store

Question

I'm trying to use php-redis as the session store to my craftcms site. What I've tried:

apt-get install php5-redis
Edited php.ini with the following: session.save_handler = redis session.save_path = "tcp://redis:6379?auth=password”

Still, I don't see any sessions saved in redis.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

This may help:

Add the following to the general.php

'cacheMethod' => 'redis',
'overridePhpSessionLocation' => 'tcp://localhost:6379'

Add the following to the index.php

ini_set('session.save_handler', 'redis')

For some reason I can't see redis as a Registered save handler in phpinfo() Any tip to overcome this?

Can you check if you got the following in the php.ini [Session] session.save_handler = redis session.save_path = "tcp://localhost:6379" session.use_cookies = 1 Also check if you are editing the right php.ini file "Loaded Configuration File" that is shown in phpinfo()
