Redis server started, but killed in a second

Question

I created 500 MB rdb file on OS X machine and Redis server works fine there. But on Ubuntu Server it is killed in several seconds after having started:

$ src/redis-server configFile_6381.conf

Sometimes before killing I see message in client output:

   (error) LOADING Redis is loading the dataset in memory

Answer 1

Check if you run the same Redis version on both systems.

I used different Redis versions, which caused the trouble. On OS X it was 2.8, on Ubuntu Server it was 2.6. After I set up Redis 2.8 on Ubuntu Server, my .rdb file started there well.

Answer 2

I was running in a similar issue and it seems that my dump.rdb was corrupted. If you do not care about the data currently loaded in your Redis, you can simply remove /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb and restart redis-server.
