Configure and Start Redis Server

Create Redis configuration directories
# mkdir /etc/redis # mkdir /var/redis
Copy Redis startup script and configuration files. These files are available in Redis distribution
# cp utils/redis_init_script /etc/init.d/redis_6379 # cp redis.conf /etc/redis/6379.conf
Edit Redis Configuration file to set parameters as shown below

Make sure to update the IP Address to your server IP Address.

# vi /etc/redis/6379.conf proc-title-template "{title} 192.168.50.36:6379 {server-mode}" port 6379 daemonize yes pidfile /var/run/redis_6379.pid logfile "/var/log/redis_6379.log" dir /var/redis/6379
Star Redis Server as a service
# /etc/init.d/redis_6379 start Starting Redis server...
Check if Redis server process is running
# ps -ef | grep -i redis root 23665 1 0 21:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/redis-server 192.168.50.36:6379

Run Redis Client

Run "/usr/local/bin/redis-cli" to start Redis Client shell
# /usr/local/bin/redis-cli 127.0.0.1:6379>
Run "ping" command
127.0.0.1:6379> ping PONG
Run a test save command to verify client is able to save file under "/var/redis/6379/"
127.0.0.1:6379> save OK
Verify that dump file is successfully created under "/var/redis/6379/"
# ls -l /var/redis/6379/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92 Aug 14 22:04 dump.rdb
