Struggled with configuring Redis on Oracle Linux for 1.5 days, which could have been done in an hour.Made changes in redis.conf file including binding to 0.0.0.0 and disabling protected mode to allow external connections.Encountered 'DENIED Redis is running in protected mode' error even after disabling protected mode due to missing authentication.Solved the issue by setting a password in custom redis.conf file, which allowed successful connection from Windows server.
