Redis (error) ERR operation not allowed

Question

all of a sudden my redis database started throwing errors on some connections:

(error) ERR operation not permitted 

I restarted the redis service and connected to it with the client using the correct auth key, it connects every time, but only allows db operations through the client only for a while.

Answer 1

Try the following:

find the line specified in your redis configuration file to check if a password is set:

 requirepass foobared 

If this line is not commented out, you need to do this:

 $redis-cli redis 127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH foobared OK
