cannot install PECL PHPRedis with PHP 5.6

Greg M
So I am trying to set up Redis for Wordpress Caching, I have Redis server 3.2 installed, and am using PHP 5.6 When I go into the module installer for PECL's and search redis it shows the 3.0 extension which is not compatible with php 5.6 Same thing when I try 'pecl install redis' via cli, I get the following:
[root@server ~]# pecl install redis pecl/redis requires PHP (version >= 7.0.0, version <= 7.1.0, excluded versions: 6.0.0), installed version is 5.6.22 No valid packages found install failed
From what I understand I must install the PHP Redis 2.2.8 PECL PECL :: Package :: redis :: 2.2.8 but I cannot find any information how to actually get this done, in all honesty I dont think the cPanel interface should list version 3.0 if it is not compatible with my PHP version. Anyway could someone please advise on how to get this installed properly as I cannot find a suitable walk through for cpanel systems.

    Hello, You can install the pecl redis extension manually using the phpize command . You may download the source files from PECL :: Package :: redis

    from SSH (as root)
    mkdir ~/redis cd ~/redis wget https://pecl.php.net/get/redis-2.2.8.tgz tar zxpf redis* cd redis* phpize make make install
    Then edit your php.ini file (/usr/local/lib/php.ini) and add
    extension="redis.so"
    near the other extensions Unfortunately, since you don't have php 7 on your server, it's going to be a manual compile, unless you can figure out a way to get PECL to install an old version

    Thank you for this, however I ran into an issue, please see below:

    I'm not really sure what I should do here EDIT UPDATE: I figured out that I needed to add the ./configure part before make so thank you to both for your comments I now have this installed and seems to be working !

    Is this a supported way to install Pecl items. Could fix my Imagick issue if it is.

    You can always install PECL items from the shell, should never have a problem doing so.

    Hello, The manual installation method should work for any PECL module, however free to open a separate thread for the issue with Imagick if you require assistance with the installation. It's generally helpful to address issues where cPanel/WHM is not functioning as expected through a bug report or feature request. Thank you.
