I’ve a suspicious error, maybe you have an answer?
{“reqId”:“xxxx”,“level”:3,“time”:“2017-08-18T19:47:23+02:00”,“remoteAddr”:“xx.xx”,“user”:“xxx”,“app”:“PHP”,“method”:“GET”,“url”:"/ocs/v2.php/apps/notifications/api/v2/notifications",“message”:"

I configured Redis as socket:
/run/redis/redis.sock

ls -lah /run/redis/

drwxr-xr-x 2 redis redis 60 18. Aug 19:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 29 root root 920 18. Aug 19:42 …
srwx------ 1 redis redis 0 18. Aug 19:42 redis.sock

nextcloud config.php like this:
‘memcache.local’ => ‘\OC\Memcache\APCu’,
‘memcache.locking’ => ‘\OC\Memcache\Redis’,
‘redis’ =>
array (
‘host’ => ‘/run/redis/redis.sock’,
‘port’ => 0,
),

I didn’t get it! thanks for help I’m stupid now :slight_smile: !

The socket must be accessible for www-data. You first have to change the chmod of the socket to 770 that the redis group can access it, make changes in /etc/redis/redis.conf:

unixsocketperm 770

and then add www-data to the redis group in /etc/group:
redis:x:110:www-data

I have the same issue and haven’t managed to solve it yet either have now found the solution.

The relevant part of config/config.php says:

  'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu',
 'memcache.locking' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis',
 'filelocking.enabled' => 'true',
 'redis' =>
 array (
   'host' => '/var/run/redis/redis.sock',
   'port' => 0,
   'timeout' => 0.0,
 ),
  'cache_path' => '/srv/nextcloud_data/cache',

and the /etc/redis/redis.conf says:

What was missing is that I had to restart the (whole) server for Redis to start working. No idea why just restarting Redis wasn’t enough, but restarting the server solved the issue for me.

@carlitoco, does this solve your problem as well?

only if I activate daemonize its not working anymore…
