redis-server 2-6.17 seems correctly installed but Error 111 connecting localhost:6379. Connection refused

[Marco Ippolito]

Hi all,

I downloaded and installed in my Ubuntu 12.04 micro instance redis-server 2-6.17.

Apparently the installation and compilation went fine but when running a python file with redis commands it says: 

"

python RedisUse.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "RedisUse.py", line 24, in <module>

    print r_server.set('foo', 'bar')

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redis/client.py", line 897, in set

    return self.execute_command('SET', *pieces)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redis/client.py", line 464, in execute_command

    connection.send_command(*args)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redis/connection.py", line 329, in send_command

    self.send_packed_command(self.pack_command(*args))

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redis/connection.py", line 311, in send_packed_command

    self.connect()

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/redis/connection.py", line 253, in connect

    raise ConnectionError(self._error_message(e))

redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Error 111 connecting localhost:6379. Connection refused.

"

What do you suggest me to do?

Follows what I did in order to compile and test the source code.

Did you start redis manually or by using your init system?

Hi Jan-Erik,

can you please explain me what do actually I have to do in order to correctly start it?

After installing and compiling the source code, I tested it (make test) and configured it.

Then I installed redis-py.

Then I just typed python RedisUse.py (which is the file with some redis command)

Is it correct? or do I have to do something else?

Kind regards.

Marco

It seems you don't really understand what redis is and how it works.
As I don't want to repeat what's out there, please read this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7888880/what-is-redis-and-what-do-i-use-it-for

Redis is a server, so you have to first start it. If you compiled it by
hand and installed it with "make install" then a init script is not
installed.
It would be better to use a already packaged version of redis, for
example from https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/redis-server (the
version in ubuntu's repositories is pretty old).
This comes with a handy init script, after installing it
`/etc/init.d/redis-server start` will start the server after which it
can be accessed by redis-cli or your script.

If you still have problems I suggest you visit the IRC channel (#redis
at freenode).

Hi Jan-Erik,

thanks for your kind help.

Anyway....it was a problem of permissions in Ubuntu...

after installing redis 2.8 version via apt-get everything went ok.

Kind regards.
