Hi @Xon trying to install this I receive the error

The following errors must be resolved before continuing:

• This add-on requires Redis Cache to be installed and configured

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions']['cache_id_prefix'] = 'hockey_';

$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Redis';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array(
'server' => '10.99.0.10',
'port' => 6379,
'connect_retries' => 2,
'use_lua' => true
);

Redis is running

and I can telnet to 10.99.0.10 6379 from 10.99.0.14 which is where XenForo is installed, so not a connection permission issue.

Also /admin.php?options/groups/RedisCacheOptions/ is a blank page other then the header.

@Mike Edge that is the XF1 cache config.

XF2 cache config should look like:

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['namespace'] = 'hockey_';
$config['cache']['provider'] = 'SV\RedisCache\Redis';
$config['cache']['config'] = array(
    'server' => '10.99.0.10',
   'port' => 6379,
   'connect_retries' => 2,
   'use_lua' => true
    );

(Provider need to be SV\RedisCache\Redis not Redis)

 

[Mike Edge]

Works now, thanks for the fast support as always!

2.0.3 - Bugfix update

• Minor code clean
• In non-lua mode, fix a potential race condition between failing to create the flood key and checking the TTL on that key which could result in incorrectly handling if the user should be blocked by the flood check

I hope I can use this without Redis Cache add-on.
As XF 2.1 already support redis by default.

XF2.0 has built-in redis support, but this add-on still depends on my Redis Cache add-on. This is unlikely to change in the near future

Seems like this could be bundled into the main Redis Cache addon?

What mean Flood Check @Xon ?

Normally, Xenforo How does flood check ?

 

[Xon]

Flood checking prevents a user from flooding XenForo with new posts. Disabling this is strongly not recommended.

Normally these flood checks are written to the database, which has overheads and needs a manual cleanup step which enforces a global fixed expiry time. Using redis allows arbitrary expiry times of any length.

Thank you, so using this plugin is good option for us.
By the way, i found a copy-paste error on add-on descriptions like this ;
