: could not connect to redis Instance at XX.XXX.XX.XXX:6379

Question

Hi I am trying to connect to a redis server listening on port 6379 on AWS EC2 linux server.

container.Register<IRedisClientsManager>(c => new PooledRedisClientManager(new[] {"XX.XXX.XX.XXX:6379"})); 

I performed following steps , created a inbound rule as Custom TCP allowing 6379 port ,and changing redis.conf bind to XX.XXX.XX.XXX:6379 or 0.0.0.0 but still unable to connect to server , can anyone help.

Here is my inbound rule on AWS

Custom TCP Rule TCP 6379 0.0.0.0/0

Answer 1

Enable telnet on your local machine. Run: telnet XX.XXX.XX.XXX 6379

ensure that the IP you are trying to connect to is accessible from your machine.

ensure that redis is configured properly to connect on the public IP
