Sidekiq not starting (Error connecting to Redis on localhost:6379)

Created by: kod3000

Since sidekiq is not running, I can't view any of my projects and all I get is a 500 error on the pages. Navigating to the 'admin page / background jobs' revels the error :

Redis::CannotConnectError at /admin/sidekiq/
Error connecting to Redis on localhost:6379 (ECONNREFUSED)

I followed all of the instructions listed here

The only difference is that I specified the 'git' user instead of 'gitlab' user when running the commands. Since I'm running gitlab version 5.2.0

I found in other post that its best to stop gitlab and start up sidekiq first.

/home/git/gitlab$ sudo service gitlab stop 
/home/git/gitlab$ sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start RAILS_ENV=production

This doesn't render any errors. I then start gitlab back up and run a check.

/home/git/gitlab$ sudo service gitlab start
/home/git/gitlab$ sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

The check gives me all green execpt in two places. The first in Sidekiq

Checking Sidekiq ...

Running? ... no
  Try fixing it:
  sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start RAILS_ENV=production
  For more information see:
  doc/install/installation.md in section "Install Init Script"
  see log/sidekiq.log for possible errors
  Please fix the error above and rerun the checks.

Checking Sidekiq ... Finished

And the second in the git version

Your git bin path is "/usr/bin/git"
Git version >= 1.7.10 ? ... no
  Try fixing it:
  Update your git to a version >= 1.7.10 from 1.7.9
  Please fix the error above and rerun the checks.

I have no idea how to upgrade the git version since the system tells me I'm already running the latest git version. In any case I don't see how that would affect sidekiq.

I checked the sidekiq.log, which has the following..

Any help I can get on this would be great. Thanks.
