Solution

  • The problem shows that the port is already in use by another process or is open in another window.

    Change the port of redis server

    redis-server --port 6360 will start a Redis server listening to port 6360.

    redis-cli -p 6360 - Now use this to make your client listen at this port.

    Hope this helps solve your problem
