Open Redis port for remote connections

Question

I can ping pong Redis on the server:

# redis-cli ping
PONG

But remotely, I got problems:

$ src/redis-cli -h REMOTE.IP ping
         


        

Answer 1

1- Comment out bind 127.0.0.1

2- set requirepass yourpassword

then check if the firewall blocked your port

iptables -L -n

service iptables stop
