saving in redis-cli , why isn't it saving?

[S Ahmed]

My redis.conf says:

dir /usr/local/var/db/redis/

I fired up redis-cli

and did both:

bgsave and save

When I look in the folder /usr/local/var/db/redis it is empty.

Will it not save if I havent' met the thresholds of either time or # of key changes?

I installed redis using: 

brew install redis

Make sure you are using the correct configuration file
Try from the client:

redis> get config dir

also, you should always see the logfile

Ok your right it showed a different folder.

The thing is, I first installed redis using the instructions on redis.io, and today I installed it again using 'homebrew install redis'.

How can I un-install the manual install I did via the instructions on redis.io?

When I do:

which redis-server

it says:

/usr/local/bin

Homebrew installed it in:

/usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.2.2/bin

The file in /usr/local/bin/redis-server is symbolic linked to ../Cellar/redis/2.2.2/bin/redis-server

/usr/local/etc/redis.conf

says the dir is: 

/usr/local/var/db/redis/

In redis> doing a config get dir says:

/User/my_username/

and indeed the dump.rdb is there with a timestamp of today.

So it must be picking up a config file from somewhere else?  Or it isn't using it by default if I started redis-server w/o a config flag?

When you start Redis from your console without passing additional
arguments, you see the following:
"Warning: no config file specified, using the default config. In order
to specify a config file use 'redis-server /path/to/redis.conf'"

You need to pass the path of the config file as first argument in
order to pick it up..

Cheers,
Pieter

Does your config file contain a "dbfilename" setting? for example:

dbfilename dump.rdb

?

start redis with specified config file  I used this quick start

eg mine is the following

 sudo redis-server /etc/redis/6379.conf

do redis-cli

with save command

you will see dump.rdb in your log file directory
