Description
The initial Redis installation failed, and re-running the installation scripts produces new errors that were not part of the original installation attempt. This happens because the Redis installer does not perform cleanup after a failed installation. As a result, leftover files or configurations can cause the installer to think it is performing an upgrade or encounter unexpected issues.
Solution
To clean up a failed Redis installation:
-
Remove all Redis packages:
sudo yum remove redis*sudo yum remove redis* -
Verify that all Redis packages have been removed:
sudo rpm -qa | grep -i redissudo rpm -qa | grep -i redis -
Once the cleanup is completed, re-run the installation scripts. Re-running the install scripts might produce new errors, not seen on the original install, such as:
-
