May need to reinstall redis. Not recognizing conf file so can't start, stop, or restart.
Digital Ocean Redis tutorial

[ch3njust1n]

Redis binaries are stored in different places on smpl-0 and smpl-2, but neither can find the conf with sudo systemctl start redis

(smpl) ubuntu@smpl-2:~$ which redis-server
/usr/local/bin/redis-server
(smpl) ubuntu@smpl-2:~$ exit
logout
Connection to 192.168.0.6 closed.
(smpl) ubuntu@smpl:~$ which redis-server
/home/ubuntu/anaconda2/envs/smpl/bin/redis-server
(smpl) ubuntu@smpl:~$ 

and

(smpl) ubuntu@smpl:~$ sudo systemctl status redis
● redis.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Maybe try Anaconda Redis Install

Also look at the Installing Redis more properly section
