Redis sessions, cache & queues
- Edited
install supervisor with this command on your server:
sudo yum -y install supervisor (Cent-OS)
than run it and enable it on restart:
sudo systemctl start supervisord
sudo systemctl enable supervisordadd this after the last line of supervisord.conffile:
[program:any_name]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php flarum queue:work sqs --sleep=3 --tries=3
directory=/path_to_flarum
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=root
numprocs=1
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/path_to_flarum/worker.log
stopwaitsecs=3600after that, run this command:
systemctl restart supervisord
than this to see if it is active:
systemctl status supervisord
you can check the log file at /var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log and search for INFO success: at the last line. if you see that, supervisor is running and it will run your command on restart.
Braden did you add the lines exiting file or you created a new file?
exiting file need to be like below:
<?php

use Flarum\Extend;
return [
new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'password' => null,
'port' => 6379,
'database' => 1,
])
];
Braden since am using a shared hosting.
I would be surprised if a shared hosting provider would offer redis. Unless they are able to separate its data between the customers/sites that run on one machine. Most likely they cannot, so if they do offer redis it might imply that they share sensitive data between customers/sites and as such that would be a red flag.

matteocontrini very true because i had uninstalled Cloudflare long ago , so i got confused but still purge everything.
Inside
storage/logs there were no errors reported, i could have quote it.
Now the error surfaced
use Flarum\Extend;
return [
new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'password' => null,
'port' => 6379,
'database' => 1,
])
];its added in extend.php but not found
and immediately after adding this code, with or without the extension installed, it brings the http 500 error

Braden if your host does not support redis (which I expect they won't), then this extension has no value, and you should remove it. This would also clear the HTTP 500 error.
luceos hello I like this extension but I don't want to install redis as per security reasons also I don't need cache as my speed is already good, but I still need queues so is their any alternative that works without redis. Also a suggestion that if the queues feature will be included built in in the core it will be more better as it's a must have feature.

Hari If it is possible to set up a cron on your hosting that allows you to run tasks without a timeout. Then you can use the method I mentioned earlier: rafaucau
This script checks if the queue process is running, if not, it starts it. This way, when the process crashes, cron will restart it.
I use it on my forum because I don't have the possibility to manage processes there.
I think that if you have such a possibility on your hosting, it is better to use Redis queue than the database queue because of better performance.

rafaucau you have replied to me earlier but at that moment i thought i don't need redies queue.. currently, i am using an extension it badly needs a queue so now re-visiting 
. thanks for mentioning it again, that really helps my situation. i will keep you posted
Ffuser1 you need to install Redis first, once go through readme. in my case, i have enabled it at cloudways dashboard
