updated redis centos install script

redis_install_centos.txt

But today we want to compile redis from source (see http://redis.io/download)

  yum install make gcc tcl
  cd /usr/local/src
  wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-2.6.16.tar.gz
  tar xzf redis-2.6.16.tar.gz
  cd redis-2.6.16
  make
  make test
  make install

  which redis-server
  # => /usr/bin/which: no redis-server in (/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin) 

Now we add /usr/local/bin to PATH, thanks to http://serverfault.com/questions/102932/adding-a-directory-to-path-in-centos :)
  echo 'pathmunge /usr/local/bin' > /etc/profile.d/custom_path.sh
  chmod +x /etc/profile.d/custom_path.sh

Add sane configuration into redis, thanks to https://gist.github.com/paulrosania/257849 and http://www.ebrueggeman.com/blog/install-redis-centos-56 :)

  mkdir /etc/redis /var/lib/redis
  sed -e "s/^daemonize no$/daemonize yes/" -e "s/^dir \.\//dir \/var\/lib\/redis\//" -e "s/^loglevel debug$/loglevel notice/" -e "s/^logfile stdout$/logfile \/var\/log\/redis.log/" redis.conf > /etc/redis/redis.conf

  wget https://gist.github.com/paulrosania/257849/raw/9f1e627e0b7dbe68882fa2b7bdb1b2b263522004/redis-server
  sed -i "s/usr\/local\/sbin\/redis/usr\/local\/bin\/redis/" redis-server
  chmod u+x redis-server
  mv redis-server /etc/init.d
  /sbin/chkconfig --add redis-server
  /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 redis-server on
  /sbin/service redis-server start
  # => Starting redis-server:                                     [  OK  ]

  service redis-server status
  # => redis-server (pid NNNN) is running...

Let's test it:

  redis-cli
  # OR
  telnet 127.0.0.1 6379

  set blah:derp "test"
  get blah:derp
  # => "test"
