I am trying to connect to redis server running on EC2. I uncomment the bind line in redis conf file. 

>> netstat -nlpt | grep 6379
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6379 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -

but I still could not connect to it with the following command:

redis-cli -h ec2-xx-xx.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com -p 6379

Am i missing something here? I am able to connect the the ec2 box through ssh:

ssh -i ~/.ec2/ec2.pem [email protected]

Thanks

  • Do you have port 6379 accessible in your security policy? Commented Jan 11, 2013 at 21:54
  • @Mike Brant Where to set it? In AWS? Commented Jan 11, 2013 at 22:19
  • If you are working in AWS Console, then you need go go modify the security policy associated with the instance to accept incoming traffic on port 6379. Commented Jan 11, 2013 at 22:26

    @MikeBrant Thanks, it works after I set a new rule for the inbound. Commented Jan 11, 2013 at 22:26

You need to set the security policy associated with the instance to allow for inbound traffic on port 6379.
