Problem
The problem occurs when local port 6379 is blocked or used by another service.
Solution
To solve this issue, try the following steps.
Step 1 — Check firewall
The firewall must not block local port 6379.
Step 2 — Verify port usage
Check port usage with the command: sudo lsof -i :6379.
Step 3 — Stop the conflicting service
Stop the service or software using port 6379.
Example
Redis server often uses port 6379. If the command in Step 2 returns a line similar to the following, Redis is using port 6379:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
redis-srv 1234 redis 6u IPv4 0x1234 0t0 TCP *:6379 (LISTEN)
Step 4 — Stop Redis server before using Genymotion Desktop
Run: brew services stop redis.
Step 5 — Use a different port for Redis (recommended)
Local port 6379 is used by Redis server by default. To avoid stopping Redis server each time Genymotion Desktop runs, set a different port for Redis.
Step 6 — Change the port in the Redis configuration
To configure the port, modify the port directive in the redis.conf configuration file.
