how to import dump.rdb file to redis local server

Hi I'm trying to import the dump.rdb file to my local redis I'm using ubuntu 14.04,

I've tried this solutions :

  1. backup data from server using SAVE command
  2. Locate the location to put the dump.rdb file

Since I install redis using this tutorial, so I copy the imported dump.rdb to my redis root directory, and then started the redis server like this : 

src/redis-server

and then connect the client using : 

src/redis-cli

But When I tried to get the all keys using KEYS * I got (empty list or set) where did I go wrong? I've been playing this for hours, any help? thank you

Solution

  • I found the problem in my step, in the documentation quick start redis :
    Using src/redis-server Redis was started without any explicit configuration file so I need to start the server with the configuration file to make the server read my dump.rdb file like this : 

    src/redis-server redis.conf

    now I can get all the imported data.
