Connection to password-protected redis instance doesn't work about dillinger HOT 6 CLOSED

Sounds like you are having a redis issue and not a dillinger issue.

I would have a look at the node redis client and see what they do for password protected redis instances.

It appears you just need to pass it an options hash:

https://github.com/bnoguchi/redis-node

from dillinger.

As for redis.conf , it's a simple:

requirepass PLAIN_TEXT_PASSWORD

My code looks like this:

function initRedis(){
  redisClient = redis.createClient();
  redisClient.on("error", function (err) {
      console.log("Redis connection error to " + redisClient.host + ":" + redisClient.port + " - " + err);
  });
  redisClient.on("connect", function (err){ console.log("Connection done"); redisClient.auth("PASSWORD", function (err) { }); });
  redisClient.on("reconnect", function (err){ console.log("Re-Connection done"); redisClient.auth("PASSWORD", function (err) { }); });
  RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(express);
}

And the error looks like this

/home/nodejs/dillinger # node app.js
Connection done
Redis connection error to 127.0.0.1:6379 - Ready check failed: Error: Error: ERR operation not permitted

I'm lost or the dependency is http://github.com/mranney/node_redis instead of https://github.com/bnoguchi/redis-node ?

That's the one (version 0.6.7) listed under dillinger/node_modules/redis/package.json

from dillinger.

Oops sorry about that, yeah it is the one listed in the package.json. Nonetheless, the redis client module is the issue, not Dllinger. =)

did you get this sorted out?

Closing as my assumption is this has been resolved.
