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
redis-2.8.19-2.el7.x86_64

@ron_jeremy OK it seam you have your redis installation screwed. Backup your database if it is not empty run rpm -e redis-2.8.19-2.el7.x86_64 . Then yum install redis-server. That should fix the installation

@Peter-Zoltan-Keresztes @pichalite Just wanted to say THANK YOU to the both of you for all the help -- it was really appreciated. I have destroyed the DigitalOcean Droplet because spending my evenings and weekends with with my face buried in a terminal is not very appealing.
Unfortunately, It doesn't look good for me + NodeBB. That fact that I can unknowingly and easily nuke the forum simply by playing with settings in the frontend with little to no chance of fixing it has given me a lot to think about.
I need to make a decision on forum software within the next few months, but NodeBB is scaring the shit out of me. It's too bad Flarum is still some months (or a year) away from production.
Now I'm not sure what to do.

@ron_jeremy switch to Ubuntu and install the latest Redis over Chris Lea's repo:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis-serverThat should work out of the box. Unfortunately CentOS has somehow problems with Redis sometimes.
If this is not going to work, then I will eat my pants.
-
@AOKP THx for your help -- I have a new instance of NodeBB (on Ubuntu 14.04) up and running.
The testing continues.
