How can I stop redis-server?

I apparently have a redis-server instance running because when I try to start a new server by entering redis-server, I'm greeted with the following:

Opening port: bind: Address already in use

I can't figure out how to stop this server and start a new one.

Is there any command I can append to redis-server when I'm typing in the CLI?

My OS is Ubuntu 10.04.

Solution

  • Either connect to node instance and use shutdown command or if you are on ubuntu you can try to restart redis server through init.d:

    /etc/init.d/redis-server restart

    or stop/start it:

    /etc/init.d/redis-server stop
/etc/init.d/redis-server start

    On Mac

    redis-cli shutdown
