I'm trying to follow the Redis installation process that was discuss in this article of digital ocean, for in WSL(Windows Sub-System for Linux). The Ubuntu version installed is Ubuntu 18.04.
Everything in redis installation is fine but when I tried to run this sudo systemctl start redis
I got this message.
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Any Idea on what should I do with that?
Instead, use: sudo service redis-server start
I had the same problem, stopping/starting other services from within Ubuntu on WSL. This worked, where systemctl did not.
And one could reasonably wonder, "how would you know that the service name was 'redis-server'?" You can see them using service --status-all
Instead of using
sudo systemctl start redis
use:
sudo /etc/init.d/redis start
as of right now we do not have systemd in WSL
Or sometime it might be redis-server
, like:
>> sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server start
Starting redis-server: redis-server.
Just do a ls
, like: ls /etc/init.d
sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server start
fixed the problem after all other commands had failed. I am on WSL.
I had this problem running WSL 2
the solution was the command
$ sudo dockerd
if after that you still have a problem with permission, run the command:
$ sudo usermod -aG docker your-user
sudo: dockerd: command not found
I was trying to start Docker within ubuntu and WSL.
This worked for me,
sudo service docker start
If you are using Docker, you may try an image that has Ubuntu with System D already active with this command:
docker run -d --name redis --privileged -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro jrei/systemd-ubuntu:18.04
Then you just need to run:
docker exec -it redis /bin/bash
and there you can just install Redis, start it, restart it or whatever you need.
Total newbie here - after trying most of the above suggestions, the command that worked for me was sudo service apache2 --full-restart
and the web server started up.
Maybe the error came up because I have been following lots of setup instructions without a reboot/restart. I'm working on Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL2 using Apache2 Debian.
For WSL2, I had to install cgroupfs-mount, than start the daemon, as described here:
sudo apt-get install cgroupfs-mount
sudo cgroupfs-mount
sudo service docker start
This worked for me (using WSL)
sudo /etc/init.d/redis start
(for any other service, check the init.d folder for filenames)
use this command for run every service just write name service for example :
for xrdp :
sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp start
for redis :
sudo /etc/init.d/redis start
(for any other service, check the init.d folder for filenames)
Success story sharing
service
is an abstraction and can fall back to eitherinit.d
(sysv init) orsystemd
which as the question implied does not work. serverfault.com/questions/867322/…systemctl start redis
, was not working for the OP. It wasn't working for me, either. I found this alternative (redis-server start
) and came here to offer it as an answer. I'm glad it's helped others. But I wasn't/am not in a position to explain "what happens here", or why it counters your expectations. Feel free to elaborate as you may find more, or perhaps others will.
