title: Running Redis on Windows
body: <p>I installed Redis via this Github repo:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis</a></p>
  
  <p>I have Redis running successfully on a Mac at work, but run Windows at home.
  I ran the msi installer, and then am using the default configuration.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the contents of my cmd file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd "C:\Program Files\Redis"
  redis-server.exe "C:\Program Files\Redis\redis.windows.conf"
  pause
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Redis sort of starts up and says "no error" but the server doesn't actually start, here's what the command line output looks like:</p>

  <p>Anyone have a clue what could be wrong? If I remove the pause, the command windows just closes immediately, I needed the pause to read the output at all.</p>
