Socket error when running Nodebb

[Noah Rainey]

I get this error about 3 minutes into starting and running my forum. I don't know what's causing but would greatly appreciate some help.

type redis-cli in your shell. Can you connect and run commands?

[Noah Rainey]

@baris I get this error when I try typing it:

The term 'redis-cli' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, scrip
t file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was i
ncluded, verify that the path is correct and try again.

@Noah-Rainey That's a powershell error... hm... it sounds like Redis gets shut down after a couple minutes of your forum running. How have you installed Redis?

[Noah Rainey]

@julian Yes Redis is running in a console shell while NodeBB is running.

[julian]

Can you have redis installed as a service daemon instead? Double-check that you can access Redis via command line (this is what @baris is suggesting you do)

[Noah Rainey]

@julian I opened up command prompt and tried but got this: 'redis-cli' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

[julian]

Depending on how Redis is installed, accessing the command line interface is different. Let us know.

[Noah Rainey]

@julian I'm running it on Windows and I've always just gone to program files and executed the redis command prompt.

@Noah-Rainey

What we're trying to say is the problem seems to be your Redis data store is no longer accessible, which explains why NodeBB is crashing. So you'll have to look into the reason for that

[Noah Rainey]

@julian Would reinstalling Redis fix the issue?
