Redis Crash on bench start due to RediSearch Module – Signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

[Kushal_tsGeek]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing a Redis crash issue when running bench start on a fresh Frappe environment. Redis fails with a segmentation fault (signal: 11) during startup while trying to load the RediSearch module.

Error Summary:

Redis crashes immediately with the following in the logs:

Redis 7.4.2 crashed by signal: 11, si_code: 1
Accessing address: (nil)
/etc/redisearch.so(RediSearch_InitModuleConfig+0x46)
...

Trace shows it happens during:

RedisModule_OnLoad -> RediSearch_InitModuleConfig

Environment Details

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Kernel: 6.8.0-57-generic)
• Redis version: 7.4.2
• RediSearch Module Path: `/etc/redisearch.so
• Redis Cache Config: redis_cache.conf includes loadmodule /etc/redisearch.so

What I’ve Tried

• Downgraded Redis to 7.0.x (working fine without RediSearch)
• Recompiled RediSearch from source
• Verified module path and permissions
• Used redis-server --loadmodule manually – same crash occurs
