Port 6379 is occupied by a process with PID '-' in wsl2

Question

I want to initiate redis-server on port 6379 but i got this: Could not create server TCP listening socket :6379: bind: Address already in use And here is the output of netstat -tunlp : tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6379 0.0.0.0: LISTEN - How to kill this process ...?

Try to run `sudo netstat ...`, then you can see PID. – Philippe Jan 28 '22 at 17:37 — Philippe, Jan 28 '22 at 17:37

Try to restart WSL by using wsl --shutdown and then try again.

Or maybe some windows app on your computer is using this port and is preventing Linux from getting information about this process.
