Hi everyone,
I need to install Redis on my CentOS 6.5 machine to use with my Rails application. I browsed the web to figure out how to do it and proceeded with the following commands:
wget https://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.6.14.tar.gz // latest stable tar -xf redis-2.6.14.tar.gz cd redis-2.6.14 make install make test sudo make install
Until now, everything fine! But then I try running Redis finally and I get the following error:
Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused
What is going on? Can anyone help me with this?

That means Redis isn’t running. You will need to start it by running <pre>/usr/local/bin/redis-server /path/to/config</pre>. See <a href=“http://redis.io/topics/quickstart”>http://redis.io/topics/quickstart</a>.
