I got error NOAUTH Authentication required when I connect to Redis server via command: redis-cli and run ping to check if Redis is
redis-cli
ping
I Have the same problem, I found it's caused by someone started redis by another redis.cnf configure file, So I stoped redis-server and then started redis-server specify a configure file.
redis.cnf
redis-server /etc/redis.cnf
Then every thing works fine.
