unknown command 'SETEX'

[Peter Bengtsson]

On my Debian Squeeze server I'm running Redis 2.2.12 according to `apt-cache show redis-server`. Strangely however, it appears to not support SETEX::

redis> SETEX samplekey 10 "HEllO"

Unknown command 'SETEX'

redis> 

What might that be about??

I noticed that SETEX was introduced in 1.3.10 http://redis.io/commands/setex

I think you're misreading the version number returned by the apt-cache command.  My searches at packages.debian.org indicate that the version in Squeeze is v1.2.x, not 2.2.x.

But the Redis instance will tell you its version number.  Send it the "INFO" command and look for 'redis_version'.

From the OPs email:

$ apt-cache show redis-server
[snip]
Version: 2:1.2.6-1

That's version 1.2.6 of Redis packaged for debian.
