Can't bind TCP listener *:6379 using Redis on

Question

I'm using Redis 2.8 on Windows which I downloaded from github release. After unzip and I've set maxheap in redis.windows.conf file. After running redis-server redis.windows.conf I get # Creating Server TCP listening socket *:6379:No such file or directory, but redis is not running correctly. I don't know why.

Answer 1

1. check the port(if something else is using redis port)
2. use redis-server xxx.conf to run a server with your configuration
3. try to use redis-cli

4. check redis issues(https://github.com/ServiceStack/redis-windows/wiki/Issues-might-happen)

Answer 2

Now service is normally.I run redis-cli.exe in the same window,and it connect correctly.Then I typed shutdown,the service is over.Reopen a command windows,type redis-server.The service run correctly.But I still did not understand why # Creating Server TCP listening socket *:6379:No such file or directory came out.

We had a similar/related "redis-server.exe" service hosting issue.

After installing the Redis Windows Service, we could access the service on port 6379 locally, but not from a remote client (even though the firewall was configured to allow inbound traffic on the port).

In order to resolve the issue, we had to edit the redis.windows-service.conf configuration file and change the following:

• bind 127.0.0.1 needed use the actual IP address
• protected-mode yes needed to be set to "no"

After making the above changes, we restarted the Redis service and were able to connect from all clients.
