Lucas James Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Quote Deprecations Core: Apc, Memcache, Wincache and Xcache caching engines, we recommend using Redis instead. Source: https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/450-beta-8-r94/ Quote We've also deprecated older caching engines like Memcache, APC and Wincache and recommend using Redis instead. Source: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/company/welcome-to-invision-community-45-r1206/ If Redis is what IPS recommends, then why can't IPS let it be a recommendation, instead forcing clients to switch over? If Memcached is performing better than Redis for some users and they are comfortable with that (including myself as I host multiple servers and clients' IPS sites), or those clients who don't have Redis on their server due to their Host restrictions; then why to simply deprecate it? My say: Please do NOT deprecate Memcached. Genadii Skaraev and sobrenome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Because it's code we need to maintain. We've supported memcache for many years, but these days we find Redis works far better for the vast majority of our clients, so we feel development efforts are better directed towards maintaining Redis. sobrenome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @bfarber That makes perfect sense to me, but I also understand @Lucas James. In my experience, hosts don't know how to install or config redis. They have experience with solutions like memcache and to get it to play well with cPanel. Is it possible for the Invision team to please create a tutorial on the best way to install and configure the latest version of redis specifically for Invision? And if possible to get it working with cPanel? I think this would take care of some hardships as we would be able to give our hosts documentation for them to follow and get our Invision Suite working efficiently with redis.

rfcontreras Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 You do not need to customize redis for invision, just install and configure redis. Which OS does your server run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
