Setting up the Redis Cache Driver

You know by default Laravel uses the file cache driver. You want to use a speedier cache.

Edit app/config/cache.php and change the driver to 'redis'.

    'driver' => 'redis',

If you have multiple redis servers, or they're running on something other than the local machine, you'll have to edit the redis section of app/config/database.php also.

    'redis' => array(
        'cluster' => false,
        'default' => array(
            'host'     => '127.0.0.1',
            'port'     => 6379,
            'database' => 0,
        ),
    ),

To use the cache driver make sure Redis is installed first. See the Installing Redis recipe for details.
