To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf

echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

set redis.conf daemonize to "yes"

# By default Redis does not run as a daemon. Use 'yes' if you need it.
# Note that Redis will write a pid file in /var/run/redis.pid when daemonized.
daemonize yes
