redis-server in ubuntu14.04: Bind address already in use

Question

I started redis server on ubuntu by typing this on terminal: $redis-server

This results in following > http://paste.ubuntu.com/12688632/

aruns ~ $ redis-server
27851:C 05 Oct 15:16:17.955 # Warning: no config file specified, using the default config. In order to specify a config file use redis-server /path/to/redis.conf
27851:M 05 Oct 15:16:17.957 # You requested maxclients of 10000 requiring at least 10032 max file descriptors.
27851:M 05 Oct 15:16:17.957 # Server can't set maximum open files to 10032 because of OS error: Operation not permitted.
27851:M 05 Oct 15:16:17.958 # Current maximum open files is 4096. maxclients has been reduced to 4064 to compensate for low ulimit. If you need higher maxclients increase 'ulimit -n'.
27851:M 05 Oct 15:16:17.958 # Creating Server TCP listening socket *:6379: bind: Address already in use

How can I fix this problem, it there any manual or automated process to fix this binding.

Answer 1

$ ps aux | grep redis

Find the port that its running on.. In my case..

MyUser  8821   0.0  0.0  2459704    596   ??  S    4:54PM   0:03.40 redis-server *:6379

And then close the port manually

$ kill -9 8821

Re-run redis

$ redis-server
