The "cannot shutdown redis-server" error occurs when the Redis server cannot be terminated as expected. Several factors could contribute to this issue, including insufficient privileges for the user attempting the operation, a misconfigured or corrupted Redis configuration file, background saving issues, unsaved data in memory, or an unresponsive Redis process.
To resolve the "cannot shutdown redis-server" error, you can try the following solutions:
INFO
command. If a background saving process is active, wait for it to complete before attempting the shutdown again.SAVE
command to persist data to disk manually. Then try the shutdown command once more.kill
on Linux or Task Manager on Windows to end the process. Be cautious when using this approach as it may lead to data loss or corruption. Always attempt a graceful shutdown first.Dragonfly is fully compatible with the Redis ecosystem and requires no code changes to implement.
