We've been running redis-server on a number of AWS EC2 Ubuntu instances (14.04.4 LTS) with no problems. I spun up a test server to try the upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, and now redis won't work.
If I try to start redis manually, I get this:
~$ sudo service redis-server restart
Job for redis-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status redis-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Error info:
~$ systemctl status redis-server.service

I've tried the following:
- restarted the server
- run our deployment script, which includes a redis restart
- used
sudo apt-get
to uninstall and re-install redis-server - done the installation twice, once accepting the new
/etc/redis/redis.conf
file from the package, and once keeping our original file
Any suggestions?
