Fresh install of EasyEngine stable release but redis-server won’t start.

I’m facing the same issue.

In order to make REDIS start I copied /etc/redis (and all its subdirectories and files) from another server with REDIS already running.

Can you host that somewhere? Just encountered the exact same issue…

Edit - nevermind I got the files and it fixed my issue also! I suspect maybe this has to do with v4 being introduced?

I don’t think it has anything to do with EE itself. It seems the REDIS package is somehow corrupted or at least with some bug.

In case someone needs the configuration files (use at your own risk) from a previous working server:
