Error: redis bind cannot assign requested address
What's Causing This Error
The error message 'redis bind cannot assign requested address' arises when Redis is unable to bind to a specific IP address and port. The most common cause of this error is an incorrect or unavailable IP address specified in the Redis configuration file. It can also occur if there is another process already bound to the same IP address and port.
Solution - Here's How To Resolve It
To resolve this error, try these steps:
- Verify that the IP address specified in the Redis configuration file is accurate and available on the machine running Redis.
- Check for any processes listening on the same IP address and port using the
lsof
command. - Ensure that the network settings are configured correctly, and the IP address assigned to the machine is valid and accessible from outside the machine if using a virtual machine or cloud instance.
- Use a different IP address and port combination for Redis, updating the configuration file accordingly.
- Restart Redis after any changes to the configuration file.
If none of these solutions work, seek further assistance, or consult the Redis documentation for more information.
