I sincerely appreciate your time in replying, but is there a specific suggestion you can make to “fix your Redis config?” I have zero experience with redis, Linux, Ruby, Rails, etc.

If I followed the directions at [Install Discourse on Windows for development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-windows-10-for-development/75149) should redis be working properly? Do I need to start over?

Basically, I have no idea where to begin to debug/fix this issue…

EDIT:

redis is running and responding:

```
C:\WINDOWS\system32>bash
root@Jeff-PC:/mnt/c/Windows/System32# redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG
127.0.0.1:6379> set mykey somevalue
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> get mykey
"somevalue"
127.0.0.1:6379>

```

I’d appreciate any help so I can get started on importing the actual forum content. **I’ll be manually inserting 96,000 registered members and over 8 MILLION posts.**
