Core: Redis Server Went Away

[ghost]

On 8.0.2 this error keeps popping up, this apparently is being fixed in 8.1, however what can the 8.0.2 users do? Can this be fixed? Is there something I can change in my settings/php?

Just as a reference:

The main problem here seems to be that the redis server itself is broken/wrong configured but OC is still trying to use it as it is always choosing to use redis if no other caches are enabled: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/14742

@guyintruck you might be able to tweak config.php to prevent it using redis: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/14742#issuecomment-113035872

@HLFH the link you've provided is unreachable, did you (and anyone reading here) by any chance have a copy saved somewhere ?

@Ardakilic The old contacts app was moved to the "owncloudarchive" organization so the issue is now available here: https://github.com/owncloudarchive/contacts/issues/1082 and the comment directly here: https://github.com/owncloudarchive/contacts/issues/1082#issuecomment-151638547

@Ardakilic I got the same issue before yesterday when I installed once again ownCloud with Redis. So, I also remembered this issue on owncloudarchive/contacts and it now works perfectly. If you need help in some way, don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you @HLFH , @RealRancor , I sorted it out, but with another way, I don't know if these are related though.

I don't know which did it, but here goes:

I firstly checked group and user owners of my redis sock file, which were both redis.

So, I added my nginx user www-data to redis group, so it can reach the redis sock:

usermod -a -G redis www-data

Then I've commented out unixsocketperm parameter from /etc/redis/redis.conf, which was uncommented with 755 as value. Now, only unixsocket parameter is enabled. Also, port's value is 0.

After this, I could run owncloud with redis as socket just fine on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with nginx, Redis, MariaDB and PHP7.

@Ardakilic Cool, congratulations you did fine! Same as you but with Arch Linux, Nginx, Redis, MariaDB, and PHP7. Have a great day.

Just a side note: I have clean installed a Debian 8, and I have installed PHP7 and Redis from dotdeb.org's repositories, and I've stumbled upon to the same issue, and the fix provided above also fixed it on Debian.

@Ardakilic Time to make a FAQ out of his at https://central.owncloud.org/c/faq :smile:
