08:34:01 GMT <Repox> Hi guys. I made a change to my PHP application enabling it to use Redis for session handling. All off a sudden, Redis acts up and gets incredibly memory consuming and kills my server. I have approx 250 live sessions at any given time. Is Redis not a good choice for handling PHP sessions?
08:47:07 GMT <Repox> Well, any input regarding the slow Redis is appreciated. I have the result of GET CONFIG '*' here: http://pastebin.com/iikfkuTX
10:47:50 GMT <echologic> I'm trying to associate a config file with redis, and I'm getting the following error:
10:48:02 GMT <echologic> > redis-server ~/.redis/redis.conf
10:48:09 GMT <echologic> > 16403:C 22 Nov 23:43:50.203 # Can't chdir to '~/.redis': No such file or directory
10:48:27 GMT <echologic> I have *definitely* created the directory, and redis.conf exists within it
10:48:32 GMT <Habbie> is there a mention of ~/.redis in that .conf?
10:53:39 GMT <echologic> Habbie: yes, the working directory for the rdb file I have also set to "dir ~/.redis"
10:53:57 GMT <Habbie> ok
10:53:59 GMT <Habbie> that's the problem
10:54:05 GMT <Habbie> redis does not know what ~/ means
10:54:09 GMT <Habbie> put the full path there
10:55:13 GMT <echologic> Habbie: ahh, awesome. Thanks! I thought it was complaining about the location of the conf file.
10:55:24 GMT <Habbie> no :)
10:56:03 GMT <echologic> yes, that works. Appeciate it :)
10:56:09 GMT <Habbie> np
11:12:32 GMT <mipo> hi
11:13:07 GMT <mipo> my redis server shows this error on service starting:  Failed to start Advanced key-value store
11:15:10 GMT <mipo> fixed ;)
11:28:59 GMT <mickkelodeon> Hi
11:29:20 GMT <mickkelodeon> how are strings stored in Redis? utf8?
11:29:39 GMT <mickkelodeon> I’m inserting a url but cannot find it after when I look for it
11:49:03 GMT <minus> mickkelodeon: binary, redis doesn't do any encoding
11:49:12 GMT <minus> your client does that
13:28:32 GMT <Rond> hi, getting a weird issue with a redis setup on windows server. sometimes opening a new connection takes around 10 seconds. anyone encountered this?
13:30:09 GMT <minus> maybe too many open connections? afaik windows isn't officially supported
13:33:51 GMT <Rond> not really, around 10 connections open. does not reproduce on the production windows server
13:34:15 GMT <Rond> we might look into moving it to linux though
13:48:26 GMT <minus> save windows licensing costs and hire more staff instead =D
13:49:09 GMT <minus> otoh RHEL/etc aren't free if you want support either
13:54:24 GMT <Habbie> https://github.com/PowerDNS/redis-ipprefix updated
13:54:29 GMT <Habbie> moved a lot of logic into redis-side lua
13:54:32 GMT <Habbie> not as much as i could, though
13:55:24 GMT <minus> TIL redis' lua has a log function
13:56:29 GMT <Habbie> minus, it does not
13:56:34 GMT <Habbie> look closer
13:57:06 GMT <minus> lua would be much cooler if it didn't have 1-based indexing, abusing tables for everything (well, fine except using it as lists/arrays) and treatment of non-existent variable/nil
13:57:14 GMT <minus> oh, lol
13:57:21 GMT <minus> nice one
14:04:30 GMT <Habbie> :)
14:04:32 GMT <Habbie> brb
14:26:33 GMT <Habbie> back
14:26:52 GMT <Habbie> minus, non-existent var vs. nil can be caught, btw
15:17:05 GMT <vieflo07> Good eve,
15:17:17 GMT <vieflo07> got a problem with Windows version of Redis
15:17:31 GMT <vieflo07> anyone here to help out when the AOF log wont get truncated
15:26:05 GMT <vieflo07> Ok its a little mystery: Redis was crashing last night, and the windows service showed stopped
15:26:23 GMT <vieflo07> But there was still a process in memory locking some files in the output dir or such
15:26:38 GMT <vieflo07> After stop, cleanup of the directory and restart it seems to work again
21:19:59 GMT <redis713> ㅓ엉
22:25:21 GMT <charettes> Is it expected that calling "LLEN key" right after a "RPUSH key value" sometimes return 0?
22:26:20 GMT <minus> absolutely not
22:26:42 GMT <minus> unless you have some BL/RPOP running on that key
