Can't bind TCP listener *:6379 using Redis on Windows

Question

I\'m using Redis 2.8 on Windows which I downloaded from github release. After unzip and I\'ve set maxheap in redis.windows.conf file. After running redis-serv

Answer 1

1. check the port(if something else is using redis port)
2. use redis-server xxx.conf to run a server with your configuration
3. try to use redis-cli

4. check redis issues(https://github.com/ServiceStack/redis-windows/wiki/Issues-might-happen)
