Redis setup

Installation

You can install redis from your distribution's repository. For example in ubuntu you can:

sudo apt-get install redis-server

This will install redis under /usr and put the start/stop scripts in /etc/init.d. If you have installed redis this way delete the appropriate lines from servers/startall and servers/stopall scripts.

Or you can download redis from http://redis.io/download and install it manually. This will install redis, in an ubuntu system, under /usr/local which is the location expected in the servers/redisd script. If you installed it elsewhere you will have to correct your servers/redisd script. The servers/redis.conf file provided is the one generated by such an installation. Only the log, pid and dir variables are changed. You can modify it to your needs and experiment.
