Redis on Windows - config file

Question

I have just installed redis server on Windows from here and ran the server in default mode with no config file specified.

How do I link the config file (using Windows) to the server and how do I specify the folder to save the dtb in?

The folder looks like this:

• folder: C:\Program Files\Redis\conf - there is some template conf file
• folder: C:\Program Files\Redis\data - empty
• folder: C:\Program Files\Redis\logs - empty
• file: C:\Program Files\Redis\redis-server.exe
• file: C:\Program Files\Redis\redis-cli.

Answer 1

If you installed Redis using the MSI package, then Redis was already installed as a Windows service. If you would like to change its settings, you can update the redis.windows-service.conf file found in your installation folder and then restart the Redis service (Run -> services.msc -> Redis -> Restart).

For more detailed instructions, please follow the documentation provided in your installation folder with the name as Windows Service Documentation.docx

You may have installed Redis 3.2.100 from (https://github.com/microsoftarchive/redis/releases). But this gave me the errors.

To fix that, download Redis 5.0.9 from (https://github.com/tporadowski/redis/releases). Run this server, and you'll be good.
