I am playing around Google Cloud Platform and Redis. But is is way more complicated than I expect.
I want to shutdown redis-server, in my local version i can just:
redis-cli shutdown
redis-cli ping // Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused
that means the redis-server no longer running.
But I cannot do that in GCP. I still can get PONG after the refis-cli shutdown.
I googled around and somebody suggest kill.
first find out what is the PID of the redis-server
ps -f -u redis
I will get:
which 1637 is the PID. so I do:
sudo kill 1637
and try refis-cli ping again, I still get PONG.
I tried ps -f -u redis again. I get:
It seems like for every kill, it will respawn it self with other PID.
How can I resolve this?
The redis-cli shutdown works on Mac OS. If you using Debian or Ubuntu, the easiest, way you can shutdown the server is to go into the server and type sudo service redis-server stop and service redis-server start to start it again.
Example
test-user#my-server:~$ sudo service redis-server stop
test-user#my-server:~$ ps -f -u redis
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
test-user#my-server:~$

This is my first time asking here.
Can anyone help me how to enable the Redis API in ScyllaDB?
I can't find anything about enabling the Redis API.
Also where/how should I set the redis_port is it in the scylla.yaml?
Thank you in advance :)
Add
redis_port: 6379
somewhere in scylla.yaml
more here
http://scylla.docs.scylladb.com/master/design-notes/protocols.html#redis-client-protocol
The config option code:
https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/blob/master/db/config.cc#L789
Adding info on how to use Redis API with Scylla Docker:
run Scylla Docker with mapped Redis port
docker run -p 6379:6379 --name some-scylla -d scylladb/scylla --smp 1 --memory 750M --overprovisioned 1
update the scylla.yaml
docker exec -it some-scylla bash
vi /etc/scylla/scylla.yaml (add redis_port: 6379)
supervisorctl restart scylla
from the host server you can now use
redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG
I've installed Redis version 3.2.12 on one node CentOS 7 of a cluster with Cloudera Manager 6.3 and my redis never stop.
Everything is on default, I just added the password, but that has no effects because I can't restart. Option daemonize is no
My instalation was:
sudo yum -y install redis
sudo service redis start
When I type redis-cli, CLI starts normally at 127.0.0.1:6379. When I try shutdown, the console shows 'not connected', but with lsof -i :6379 I can identify that some jobs die and return with another PID.
If I try to kill the redis jobs, it always return with another PID.
service redis stop Return 'Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop redis.service' but has no effects.
If I try service redis restart then service redis status it returns:
redis.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Unit redis.service entered failed state.
Someone can please help me as a way to debug or understand what is happening? It's my first time with Redis.
Not sure how is this related to celery...
CentOS 7 uses systemd so I would recommend stop using the service tool and start using the systemctl. First thing you should try is systemctl status redis to check the status of the Redis service. If it shows that for whatever reason it is down, then you should either check Redis logs, or use journalctl tool to look for system logs created by Redis.
I have seen that some installations might have redis as the command-line executable while some might have redis-server. So, please try one of these commands (one will work depending on the redis package):
sudo service redis-server restart
# OR
sudo service redis restart
If you have a newer Cent OS having systemctl installed, then try one of these:
sudo systemctl restart redis-server
# OR
sudo systemctl restart redis
Using homebrew to install Redis but when I try to ping Redis it shows this error:
Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused
Note :
I tried to turn off firewall and edit conf file but still cannot ping.
I am using macOS Sierra and homebrew version 1.1.11
After installing redis, type from terminal:
redis-server
And Redis-Server will be started
I found this question while trying to figure out why I could not connect to redis after starting it via brew services start redis.
tl;dr
Depending on how fresh your machine or install is you're likely missing a config file or a directory for the redis defaults.
You need a config file at /usr/local/etc/redis.conf. Without this file redis-server will not start. You can copy over the default config file and modify it from there with
cp /usr/local/etc/redis.conf.default /usr/local/etc/redis.conf
You need /usr/local/var/db/redis/ to exist. You can do this easily with
mkdir -p /usr/local/var/db/redis
Finally just restart redis with brew services restart redis.
How do you find this out!?
I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out if redis wasn't using the defaults through homebrew and what port it was on. Services was misleading because even though redis-server had not actually started, brew services list would still show redis as "started." The best approach is to use brew services --verbose start redis which will show you that the log file is at /usr/local/var/log/redis.log. Looking in there I found the smoking gun(s)
Fatal error, can't open config file '/usr/local/etc/redis.conf'
or
Can't chdir to '/usr/local/var/db/redis/': No such file or directory
Thankfully the log made the solution above obvious.
Can't I just run redis-server?
You sure can. It'll just take up a terminal or interrupt your terminal occasionally if you run redis-server &. Also it will put dump.rdb in whatever directory you run it in (pwd). I got annoyed having to remove the file or ignore it in git so I figured I'd let brew do the work with services.
If after install you need to run redis on all time, just type in terminal:
redis-server &
Running redis using upstart on Ubuntu
I've been trying to understand how to setup systems from the ground up on Ubuntu. I just installed redis onto the box and here's how I did it and some things to look out for.
To install:
sudo apt-get install redis-server
That will create a redis user and install the init.d script for it. Since upstart is now the replacement for using init.d, I figure I should convert it to run using upstart.
To disable the default init.d script for redis:
sudo update-rc.d redis-server disable
Then create /etc/init/redis-server.conf with the following script:
description "redis server"
start on runlevel [23]
stop on shutdown
exec sudo -u redis /usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf
respawn
What this is the script for upstart to know what command to run to start the process. The last line also tells upstart to keep trying to respawn if it dies.
One thing I had to change in /etc/redis/redis.conf is daemonize yes to daemonize no. What happens if you don't change it then redis-server will fork and daemonize itself, and the parent process goes away. When this happens, upstart thinks that the process has died/stopped and you won't have control over the process from within upstart.
Now you can use the following commands to control your redis-server:
sudo start redis-server
sudo restart redis-server
sudo stop redis-server
Hope this was helpful!
redis-server --daemonize yes
I have solved this issue by running this command.
This work for me :
sudo service redis-server start
Date: Dec 2021
There is a couple of reason for this error. I read one article to fix the issue for me. So I just summarize what to check one by one.
1 Check: Redis-Server not Started
redis-server
Also to run Redis in the background, the following command could be used.
redis-server --daemonize yes
2. Check: Firewall Restriction
sudo ufw status (inactive)
sudo ufw active (for making active it might disable ssh when first time active. So enable port 22 to access ssh.)
sudo ufw allow 22
sudo ufw allow 6379
3. Check: Resource usage
ps -aux | grep redis
4. Config setup restriction
sudo vi /etc/redis/redis.conf.
Comment the following line.
# bind 127.0.0.1 ::1
Note: It will be more difficult for malicious actors to make requests or gain access to your server. Make sure you're bound to correct IP address network.
Hope it helps someone. For more information read the following article.
https://bobcares.com/blog/could-not-connect-to-redis-connection-refused/
It's the better way to connect to your redis.
At first, check the ip address of redis server like this.
ps -ef | grep redis
The result is kind of " redis 1184 1 0 .... /usr/bin/redis-server 172.x.x.x:6379
And then you can connect to redis with -h(hostname) option like this.
redis-cli -h 172.x.x.x
Try this :
sudo service redis-server restart
Error connecting Redis on Apple Silicon( Macbook Pro M1 - Dec 2020), you have to just know 2 things:
Run the redis-server using a sudo will remove the server starting error
shell% sudo redis-server
For running it as a service "daemonize" it will allow you to run in the background
shell% sudo redis-server --daemonize yes
Verify using below steps:
shell% redis-cli ping
Hope this helps all Macbook Pro M1 users who are really worried about lack of documentation on this.
I was stuck on this for a long time. After a lot of tries I was able to configure it properly.
There can be different reasons of raising the error. I am trying to provide the reason and the solution to overcome from that situation. Make sure you have installed redis-server properly.
6379 Port is not allowed by ufw firewall.
Solution: type following command sudo ufw allow 6379
The issue can be related to permission of redis user. May be redis user doesn't have permission of modifying necessary redis directories. The redis user should have permissions in the following directories:
/var/lib/redis
/var/log/redis
/run/redis
/etc/redis
To give the owner permission to redis user, type the following commands:
sudo chown -R redis:redis /var/lib/redis
sudo chown -R redis:redis /var/log/redis
sudo chown -R redis:redis /run/redis
sudo chown -R redis:redis /etc/redis.
Now restart redis-server by following command:
sudo systemctl restart redis-server
Hope this will be helpful for somebody.
First you need to up/start the all the redis nodes using below command, one by one for all conf files.
#Note : if you are setting up cluster then you should have 6 nodes, 3 will be master and 3 will be slave.redis-cli will automatically select master and slave out of 6 nodes using --cluster command as shown in my below commands.
[xxxxx#localhost redis-stable]$ redis-server xxxx.conf
then run
[xxxxx#localhost redis-stable]$ redis-cli --cluster create 127.0.0.1:7000 127.0.0.1:7001 127.0.0.1:7002 127.0.0.1:7003 127.0.0.1:7004 127.0.0.1:7005 --cluster-replicas 1
output of above should be like:
>>> Performing hash slots allocation on 6 nodes...
2nd way to set up all things automatically:
you can use utils/create-cluster scripts to set up every thing for you like
starting all nodes, creating cluster
you an follow https://redis.io/topics/cluster-tutorial
Thanks
Actually you need to run "redis-server &" after instalation to start the service, when you only run "redis-server" the service runs in undetached mode. emphasis on "&"
I just had this same problem because I had used improper syntax in my config file. I meant to add:
maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru
to my config file, but instead only added:
allkeys-lru
which evidently prevented Redis from parsing the config file, which in turn prevented me from connecting through the cli. Fixing this syntax allowed me to connect to Redis.
Had that issue with homebrew MacOS the problem was some sort of permission missing on /usr/local/var/log directory see issue here
In order to solve it I deleted the /usr/local/var/log and reinstall redis brew reinstall redis
In my case, it was the password that contained some characters like ', after changing it the server started without problems.
Just like Aaron, in my case brew services list claimed redis was running, but it wasn't. I found the following information in my log file at /usr/local/var/log/redis.log:
4469:C 28 Feb 09:03:56.197 # oO0OoO0OoO0Oo Redis is starting oO0OoO0OoO0Oo
4469:C 28 Feb 09:03:56.197 # Redis version=4.0.9, bits=64, commit=00000000, modified=0, pid=4469, just started
4469:C 28 Feb 09:03:56.197 # Configuration loaded
4469:M 28 Feb 09:03:56.198 * Increased maximum number of open files to 10032 (it was originally set to 256).
4469:M 28 Feb 09:03:56.199 # Creating Server TCP listening socket 192.168.161.1:6379: bind: Can't assign requested address
That turns out to be caused by the following configuration:
bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.161.1
which was necessary to give my VMWare Fusion virtual machine access to the redis server on macOS, the host. However, if the virtual machine wasn't started, this binding failure caused redis not to start up at all. So starting the virtual machine solved the problem.
I was trying to connect my Redis running in wsl2 from vs code running in Windows.
I have listed down what worked for me and the order in which I have performed these actions:
1) sudo ufw allow 6379
2) Update redis.conf to bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.1.7
3) sudo service redis-server restart
NOTE: This is the first time I have installed Redis on wsl2 and have not run a single command yet.
Let me know if it works for you.
Thanks.
Redis for Mac:
1- brew install redis
2- brew services start redis
3- redis-cli ping
$ brew services start redis
$ brew services stop redis
$ brew services restart redis
Lunch autostart options:
$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
# autostart activate
$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
# autostart deactivate
$ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
Redis conf default path : /usr/local/etc/redis.conf
In my case, someone had come along and incorrectly edited the redis.conf file to this:
bind 127.0.0.1 ::1
bind 192.168.1.7
when, it really needed to be this (one line):
bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.1.7
I am using Ubuntu 18.04
I have just enter this command in CMD
sudo systemctl start redis-server
And it is now working. so I thing my redis server was not started that why it showing me the error
Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused.
I have a Redis Service running inside a docker container but when connecting to it the cursor is not returned.
When using redis-cli the terminal just hangs with issuing commands, I hope someone can point out where I'm going wrong.
Instead of seeing regular redis-cli output like:
% redis-cli
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> set docker awesome
OK
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> get docker
"awesome"
redis 127.0.0.1:6379>
This is what I am seeing:
% redis-cli -p 49156
redis 127.0.0.1:49156> set docker awesome
There's no "OK" and the terminal just hangs until I Ctrl-C it.
I'm following the docker.io instructions from http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/examples/running_redis_service/
Here's my Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:12.10
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install redis-server
EXPOSE 6379
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/redis-server"]
I build the image with:
sudo docker build -t rudijs/redis .
I run an instance of the image with:
sudo docker run -d -p 6379 -name redis rudijs/redis
% sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
3888fa49b605 rudijs/redis:latest /usr/bin/redis-serve 5 seconds ago Up 4 seconds 0.0.0.0:49156->6379/tcp redis

% sudo docker port redis 6379
0.0.0.0:49156
% redis-cli -p 49156
redis 127.0.0.1:49156> set docker awesome
I've tried tinkering with different port bindings from the container to the host but the result is always the same - cli hang.
Issuing command like "help" seem to work fine
% redis-cli -p 49156
redis 127.0.0.1:49156> help
redis-cli 2.2.12
Type: "help #<group>" to get a list of commands in <group>
"help <command>" for help on <command>
"help <tab>" to get a list of possible help topics
"quit" to exit

If I just let it sit I get a timeout:
% redis-cli -p 49156
redis 127.0.0.1:49156> set docker awesome
Error: Connection reset by peer
(248.52s)
redis 127.0.0.1:49156>
Any advice or tips with this problem much appreciated.
Thanks!
The fix for this was Firehol (iptables) rules were needed:
interface docker0 interface1 src "172.17.0.0/16" dst 172.17.42.1
server all accept
client all accept
I want to stop the redis server and it just keeps going and going. I am using redis-2.6.7
Check that it is running:
redis-server
It says "...bind: Address already in use" so it is already running.
I have tried
redis-cli
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> shutdown
It just hangs and nothing happens. I break out and check, yes, it is still running.
I have tried
redis-server stop
I get "can't open config file 'stop'"
I tried:
killall redis-server
Still running.
The reason that I want to stop it is that it is just hanging when I try to set or get a value via Python. So I thought that I would restart it.
EDIT:
No commands seem to work from redis-cli. I also tried INFO and it just hangs.
I finally got it down.
Get the PID of the process (this worked in Webfaction):
ps -u my_account -o pid,rss,command | grep redis
Then
> kill -9 the_pid
I was able to REPRODUCE this issue:
Start redis-server
Then break it using Pause/Break key
Now it hangs and it won't shutdown normally. Also the Python program trying to set/get a key hangs. To avoid this: Just close the window after starting redis-server. It's now running normally.
I can't reproduce the problem anymore, but shutdown NOSAVE helped me, when I was playing with redis and couldn't get it to shut down:
redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> shutdown
(error) ERR Errors trying to SHUTDOWN. Check logs.
127.0.0.1:6379> shutdown NOSAVE
not connected>
Shutdown Redis Server $ redis-cli -a password -p 6379 shutdown
Start Redis Server $ sudo service redis_6379 start
It works on Ubuntu Server 14.04 x86 Redis v2.8.15.
Depending on your setup, either of the following solutions might fail, with redis-server just restarting with a new PID:
1.
redis-cli -a password shutdown
or, 2.
ps aux|grep redis
kill -9 <redis pid>
But the below command works.
/etc/init.d/redis-server stop
My server is Ubuntu 18.04.2 and Redis version is v4.0.9
The normal way of doing this is to connect to a client like redis-cli and execute "shutdown" command. I've found some issues trying to shutdown because redis-server doesn't have right permissions to edit db dump file (RDB) prior to quit. Then redis remains started and you have to kill the process with kill -9 pid. But this is not a redis problem as you may know.
Example of this problem:
# User requested shutdown...
[16560] 10 Sep 11:21:17.672 * Saving the final RDB snapshot before exiting.
[16560] 10 Sep 11:21:17.672 # Failed opening .rdb for saving: Permission denied
[16560] 10 Sep 11:21:17.672 # Error trying to save the DB, can't exit.
If You use Ubuntu or other linux distros try stop redis server:
sudo service redis-server stop
i think shutdown command can shutdown the redis server.
Maybe strange,after typed shutdown command,the redis-cli does not exit.Meanwhile ,the server has shutdowned.
This is possibly an really important note for some people reading this. If your redis doesn't seem to be responding to a shutdown. CHECK THE LOGS.
They may say something like this:
Apr 24 00:48:54 redis[828]: Received SIGTERM, scheduling shutdown...
Apr 24 00:48:54 redis[828]: User requested shutdown, saving DB...
Apr 24 00:55:37 redis[828]: DB saved on disk
Maybe your DB is multiple GB, or tens of GBs in which case it will take time to shutdown. If instead you want to clean out all keys, there is a better way to do that than shutdown. FLUSHALL
On windows this worked:
Open terminal(PowerShell/CMD), type:
wsl --shutdown
It will end your virtual machine.
net stop redis
should do the trick
to start :
net start redis
see this https://stackoverflow.com/a/20153062
When setting up the server to require auth...
The redis start and shutdown script utilizes redis-cli, which means that shutdown will not happen without auth and the server will hang in a loop waiting for redis to shutdown, which won't ever happen without auth.
So in the shutdown script you have to change
$CLIEXEC -p $REDISPORT shutdown
to
$CLIEXEC -a 'authpassword' -p $REDISPORT shutdown
in order to allow your redis service to shutdown without hassle.
Best way check pid of redis opened port :
lsof -i:<redis-port>
for default redis port
lsof -i:6379
kill -9 <pid>
I had a Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused error and nothing worked for me from the suggested solutions.
My solution: run sudo redis-server /etc/redis.conf command in the terminal.
After running the command I was able to use Redis again without that error.
Note: I do not know if it is OS-dependent, but I use Manjaro Linux. I am not sure if it will work the same on a different OS.
You use the following command to kill the running redis-server process.
ps aux |grep redis
This will list all the running processes for redis-server.
Then you can use the following command to kill the redis processes
sudo kill <pid for redis>
sudo kill 7229 //for the above sample.
start redis: $REDIS_HOME/src/redis-server
stop redis: $REDIS_HOME/src/redis-cli shutdown
$REDIS_HOME where you have installed/extracted redis.
on redis-cli command "shutdown SAVE" or "shutdown NOSAVE" will work.
