Trying to run Redis on Windows 7-Unsuccesfully

[Osher Dukarker]

Hi i am using virtualbox with windows 7 on-board.

I am trying to run Redis server (downloaded executable installation file from GitHub).

When trying to run Redis client i am getting the following error:

Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Unknown error
(1.00s)
not connected>

I also cannot run any 'redis' commands in the CLI.

What would you suggest to do?

What happened when you ran redis-server? Is the server up?

Hi Marc. thanks for your reply.

I don't think the server is running since I cannot run any redis command on CLI.

I don't know also how to run the server. I tought that running the Windows Redis client is actually Running the client.

 I am attaching a screenshot for you to make the situation more clear:

An update:

I have launched redis-server.exe on c:/program files/redis and it says the server is running. Although still cannot run any Redis commands.

Whats the error message u get on the terminal? can u do a print screen picture and post here?

[Osher Dukarker]

of course.

Here's when I am trying to run Redis commands on redis client:

And here's when I am trying to run Redis commands on command prompt:

Hi Osher

From the second screen shot, it seems that you are already connected to the server via the redis client. You need to type redis commands shown at http://redis.io/commands, like 'set x 100' and 'get x', without the quotes.

It also means that the server is running..:-)

Let us know if there are any problems while running the commands.

Vijay thank you!

I guess i was trying to run Redis commands that are compatible with another OS( commands like 'MAKE').

the fact that the server's running means that it will work well for laravel , right?

From your first screen shot you are already connected via the redis-cli as indicated by:

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> 

prompt

Inside this you don't want to issue the command 'redis monitor', you just want 'monitor' or any other command. 

In the second instance you are trying to run the command "redis".  As long as redis is in your %PATH% you either want "redis-server" to run the server or more likely "redis-cli" to run the redis interactive shell.

Maybe she awoke to see the roommate's boyfriend swinging from the chandelier wearing a boar's head.

Something which you, I, and everyone else would call "Tuesday", of course.

You need two processes here; the server and the client. If you run the server (redis-server), you need to *leave that running* while you (separately) run a client (redis-client). If you are using redis-64 from nuget/cinst, there are ways to install that as a service, so you don't need to spawn it separately. I suspect what is happening is that you've run the server, exited the server, then run a client.

Thanks Marc.

I actually did not know how to run the server in the first place.

then I found them both in c:/program files/redis and then  it went well.

By the way- I used the executable version for windows (7) (redis_version:2.4.6).

[Osher Dukarker]

Thanks Colin for that.

By %PATH% you mean refer to installtion path of redis client in Windows?

[Colin Vipurs]

%PATH% is the list of directories Windows will look in to find executables.

Thank you.

Thanks Colin for that. I found another link for explaining better about the path variable since the one from Wikipedis is not online.
