# Apache Module mod_socache_redis

Description: | Redis based shared object cache provider.
Status: | Extension
Module Identifier: | socache_redis_module
Source File: | mod_socache_redis.c
Compatibility: | Available in Apache 2.4.39 and later

### Summary

`mod_socache_redis` is a shared object cache provider which provides for creation and access to a cache backed by the Redis high-performance, distributed memory object caching system.

This shared object cache provider's "create" method requires a comma separated list of memcached host/port specifications. If using this provider via another modules configuration (such as `SSLSessionCache`), provide the list of servers as the optional "arg" parameter.

    SSLSessionCache redis:redis.example.com:12345,redis2.example.com:12345

Details of other shared object cache providers can be found here.
