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

After installing redis, type from terminal:

redis-server

And Redis-Server will be started
