title: Redis nodes.conf file locked?
body: <p>I am following this tutorial to create a Redis cluster:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://redis.io/topics/cluster-tutorial" rel="nofollow">http://redis.io/topics/cluster-tutorial</a></p>
  
  <p>In this tutorial I need to run several redis-server instances on port 7000 through 7005. However after I run the first instance successfully and try to run the second instance the nodes.conf file seems to be locked and I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <p>"Sorry, the cluster configuration file nodes.conf is already used by a different Redis Cluster node. Please make sure that different nodes use different cluster configuration files."</p>
  
  <p>Do I need a separate nodes.conf for every server instance? Or do I need a separate redis-server executable in each instance directory and run it from there?</p>
