Nextcloud version: 19.0.1-1  
Operating system and version: linux 5.7.9.arch1-1  
nginx version: nginx-mainline 1.19.1-1  
PHP version: 7.4.8-2

The issue you are facing:  
Many, many of the following erros in the Nextcloud log file:

```auto
RedisException ERR AUTH <password> called without any password configured for the default user. Are you sure your configuration is correct?

```

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: Yes, since redis update

Steps to replicate it:

1. Update Nextcloud, PHP, and redis to most current versions
2. Open local Nextcloud server page
3. Observe Nextcloud log file

To follow-up on my post, I do not know much about redis, but I have tried various configuration changes to make redis happy, but to no avail.

Until the most recent redis update, I ran the Nextcloud instance without any redis issue whatsoever.

Thank you for you help!

The obvious needs to be asked first. Your config.php suggests a Redis password. Is that password still showing in your /etc/redis.conf file?

A second but not so obvious place to check is your php.ini and php-fpm pool files if PHP was configured to use Redis as the session handler. Are you also seeing “Redis server went away” in Nextcloud? Last time I saw that error there was a typo in my Redis password for the site’s php-fpm pool file.

@RAlm: The “obvious” suggestion was the one that fixed it. Redis 6, as you may know, changed security a bit. To my knowledge, I never entered a password in redis.conf, and I didn’t have this problem previously; perhaps Redis 6 changed that behavior.

Either way, I added this line to the redis.conf file, and the error is gone:

**`requirepass <PASSWORD_FROM_NEXCLOUD_REDIS_CONFIG_FILE>`**

It seems there’s a better solution, but I didn’t have time to learn about Redis ACL, which is I think where I need to look next for a long term fix.

Thank you for your help!

Glad it worked out and you’re welcome.

I do recall reading about better ways to authenticate in Redis 6 (I use 5). Apparently, a study of some kind found that over 60 percent of Redis installations weren’t secured with a password and crypto mining intruders were having a field day. I think that was the impetus for a new security model in version 6. ACL is definitely an improvement but you should be safe with the plain text password in the meantime.

I always comment that line, disabling the password for authentication

@castillo92, the redis.conf file for the new Redis 6 had this line commented out, and that’s what was causing the error messages.

For the reasons @RAlm pointed out above, it seems that there needs to be some security on Redis, whether via ` **requirepass** ` or ACL.

Oh! It seems yesterday I do not understand the point.

So Redis 6 will force us to setup a password? In that case, the only modification than we must do is to edit the nextcloud config file, right?

</div>

@castillo92, in my case, I updated the Nextcloud configuration file and the redis.conf files to ensure the passwords were the same. In Redis 6, the **`requirepass`** statement is commented out of the redis.conf file, but in the Nextcloud config file, there is a default password–at least in my instance.

Thanks you very much.

I’ll keep an eye out when my Redis is updated. In my case, there is not a redis password in the Nextcloud config file, I will have to write it when Redis be updated

FIRST: THANK YOU. requirepass was the directive I needed. I am using the docker images so i was able to use the environment variables to configure nextcloud, but I needed to create and mount the redis.conf file with the directive you gave us.

Second: I learned not to put the \<\> on the password – Only cost me a few minutes, but I wasn’t sure if that was some goofy syntax/quoting thing. All good thanks to you!
