RedisException when installing SilverStripe

1
votes

I've installed SilverStripe using composer but when I try and access the site I get:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RedisException' with message 'Connection closed' in /var/www/silverstripe_test/framework/dev/install/install.php5 on line 31 RedisException: Connection closed in /var/www/silverstripe_test/framework/dev/install/install.php5 on line 31

The error seems to occur when session_start() is called but I'm not sure why?

It sounds like your instance of PHP is set up to use Redis for sessions. Have a look in php.ini and, if present, change "session.save_handler = redis" to "session.save_handler = files". If you're using Apache you can also add "php_value session.save_handler redis" to .htaccess.
