I've installed redis-server on ubuntu 16.04 and I'm trying to connect to it via unix socket. I have commented out the bind and port directives in redis.conf and uncommented the unixsocket directives so I have:
# Accept connections on the specified port, default is 6379. # If port 0 is specified Redis will not listen on a TCP socket. # port 6379 # TCP listen() backlog. # # In high requests-per-second environments you need an high backlog in order # to avoid slow clients connections issues. Note that the Linux kernel # will silently truncate it to the value of /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn so # make sure to raise both the value of somaxconn and tcp_max_syn_backlog # in order to get the desired effect. tcp-backlog 511 # By default Redis listens for connections from all the network interfaces # available on the server. It is possible to listen to just one or multiple # interfaces using the "bind" configuration directive, followed by one or # more IP addresses. # # Examples: # # bind 192.168.1.100 10.0.0.1 # bind 127.0.0.1 # Specify the path for the Unix socket that will be used to listen for # incoming connections. There is no default, so Redis will not listen # on a unix socket when not specified. # unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock unixsocketperm 770 I've added my local user to the redis group, and restarted the redis service with sudo systemctl restart redis.serivce so the /var/run/redis/ folder looks like this:
drwxrwsr-x 2 redis redis 80 Apr 27 17:39 . drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 1160 Apr 27 16:40 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 redis redis 6 Apr 27 17:38 redis-server.pid srwxrwx--- 1 redis redis 0 Apr 27 17:38 redis.sock I would expect to be able to connect to the socket now using
$ redis-cli -s /var/run/redis/redis.sock however I get:
Could not connect to Redis at /var/run/redis/redis.sock: Permission denied not connected> weirdly running $ redis-cli gives me the default 127.0.0.1:6379> which ought to be unbound?
If I look at the redis process:
redis 18108 0.0 0.0 40136 6652 ? Ssl 17:45 0:00 /usr/bin/redis-server *:6379 which looks to me like it's not even using the correct conf file and binding to *:6379. The /etc/systemd/system/redis.service file has
ExecStart=/usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf So I'm confused as to why that's not the process being run, or why the permissions aren't allowing me to connect.
