Redis service starts and stops immediately on Windows
I am trying to run Redis on Windows Server 2008 https://msopentech.com/opentech-projects/redis/
I have installed it on multiple machines and they all work fine. I've also tried many logins: admin account, local system, network service, and none of them work.
The exact message Im get:
The Redis service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.
I also tried starting the service from the command line, but all I get is this:
[3472] 27 Jul 17:51:45.375 # Redis service failed to start.
There are no logs in EventViewer.

Redis wouldn't start due to storage issues pointed out by Komrade P in the comments. I only had 16 GB HD and 8 GB storage. According to Redis, with 8GB of storage, you will need 24GB of free disk space.
I changed the values of maxheap, heapdir and maxmemory to make it work. Basically my problem is explained in the config file:
# *** There must be disk space available for this file in order for Redis
# to launch. *** The default configuration places this file in the local
# appdata directory. If you wish to move this file to another local disk,
# use the heapdir flag as described below.
# For instance, on a machine with 8GB of physical RAM, the max page file
# commit with the default maxheap size will be (8)+(2*8) GB , or 24GB. The
# default page file sizing of Windows will allow for this without having
# to reconfigure the system. Larger heap sizes are possible, but the maximum
# page file size will have to be increased accordingly.
