redis server fails to start

[conradwt (Conrad Taylor)]

I recently download the redis port.

$ redis-server -v
Redis server version 2.4.4 (00000000:0)

However, when I attempt to start the server using, I seeing the following message:

$ redis-server /opt/local/etc/redis.conf
[40046] 19 Jan 17:59:00 # Deprecated configuration directive: "glueoutputbuf"

*** FATAL CONFIG FILE ERROR ***

It sounds like your config file /opt/local/etc/redis.conf has some problems. Did you write this file, or did it come installed with the redis port?

[conradwt (Conrad Taylor)]

It came with the red is port.

Also, I took a look the one from the Redis Git repository and it's different from the MacPort version of the same file.

The port won't touch an existing redis.conf, only redis.conf.sample is changed by upgrades. So if you have a redis.conf from an older version, you will need to diff it against redis.conf.sample and merge in any changes that you don't want to override.

Replying to conradwt@…:

I modified the redis port in r98577 to install a patched copy of the redis.conf included with the source, rather than an out of date copy in our files directory.
