I used the following commands to install redid from source:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install tcl8.5
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make
make test
sudo make install
cd utils
sudo ./install_server.sh
The install_server.sh shell script installs redis as a background daemon
These were the configuration options:
Selected config:
Port : 6379
Config file : /etc/redis/6379.conf
Log file : /var/log/redis_6379.log
Data dir : /var/lib/redis/6379
Executable : /usr/local/bin/redis-server
Cli Executable : /usr/local/bin/redis-cli
While the redid-server executable is in the $PATH, I cannot restart the server:
/etc/init.d/redis-server restart
9908:C 12 Oct 15:52:17.192 # Fatal error, can't open config file '/etc/init.d/redis-server'
I want to be able to control it like a system service.
