I had redis installed and configured for other projects. Currently the server fails to start. After starting the server is immediately shut down. The logs say
> #User requested shutdown…
Is this caused by discourse? (99.99% sure because redis broke after installing dev discourse) How do I stop discourse from killing my redis server?
The discourse server is not currently running for me.
