cp /opt/redis/src/redis-check-dump /opt/redis/

Step-5

All Redis configuration options can be specified in the redis.conf file located at /opt/redis/redis.conf. Issue the following command to create this file from the default configuration file:

cp /opt/redis/redis.conf.default  /opt/redis/redis.conf

Consider the following Configuration

File :  redis.conf

1.    daemonize  yes
