@ron_jeremy do you have a password setup for redis?
-
@pichalite Hmmm I can't remember. How can I check? Also, should I not be setting a redis password?
-
@ron_jeremy nothing wrong with setting a password... you have to use the password to use redis-cli if you have one.
check redis docs for how to

@pichalite will do. thx very much for all the help!

@pichalite I did some Googling and found my way to the redis.conf file in the etc folder. Inspecting the file I see the following line is commented out:

@ron_jeremy yes

Can anyone else offer any pointers? I have no idea where to go from here

PM me, if you like

your redis server is not running. You need to start it first. I would suggest to run service redis-server start. Then check for redis with netstat -ntlp. Once the redis server is up and running then you can start the nodebb application

@Peter-Zoltan-Keresztes Hi Peter, thanks for the help! I ran the command per your instructions:
[root@offroadbc /]# service redis-server start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start redis-server.service
Failed to start redis-server.service: Unit redis-server.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Do you have redis-server installed? Try running rpm -qa | grep redis

[root@offroadbc /]# rpm -qa | grep redis
