Stop redis server. Neither shutdown nor stop works

Question

I want to stop the redis server and it just keeps going and going. I am using redis-2.6.7

Check that it is running:

redis-server

It say

Answer 1

I had a Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused error and nothing worked for me from the suggested solutions.

My solution: run sudo redis-server /etc/redis.conf command in the terminal.

After running the command I was able to use Redis again without that error.

Note: I do not know if it is OS-dependent, but I use Manjaro Linux. I am not sure if it will work the same on a different OS.
