I have a redis-server instance running, everything works fine if I try to connect to it via code e.g python. The problem is, redis-cli tool doesn't connect. Here's what I get when I run redis-cli:

Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: �
not connected>

Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: (
not connected>

Looking at the response, it's adding some characters after the port, in this case : � and : (

What could be the problem here? I've also tried redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 but to no avail.

Note: Redis server is working fine.

If you've installed it from the repo and played with versions, make sure you do `make distclean && make` – Itamar Haber Jan 17 '20 at 17:34
@ItamarHaber thanks for your reply, I installed it using `apt-get install redis-server` – Wafula Samuel Jan 17 '20 at 21:10

Can you use `telnet localhost 6379` and type "PING"+? – Itamar Haber Jan 18 '20 at 15:10
