CONFIG SET dbfilename temp.rdb

This is the way,

What u should be doing is :

# redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG SET dir /data/tmp
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG SET dbfilename temp.rdb
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> BGSAVE
Background saving started
127.0.0.1:6379>

Please Make sure /data/tmp has enough disk space.

this is the way. Thank you for solving the root problem :)

Yep, this happing because current use does not have the permission to modify the "dump.rdb".

So, instead of creating a new RDB file, You can also give permission to old file(change the ownership of it).

In redis-cli enter:

config get dir

you will get "/usr/local/var/db/redis" (this is the location where redis writes the data)

go to this location using terminal

cd 
cd /usr/local/var/db

Type this command(with our username):

sudo chown -R [username] db

This will change to owner.

This works for me.

This worked with the addtion of stopping and starting redis

brew services stop redis

brew services start redis

that's what the command does


  According to Redis documentation, this is recommended only if you don't have RDB snapshots enabled or if you don't care about data persistence in the snapshots.
  
  "By default Redis will stop accepting writes if RDB snapshots are enabled (at least one save point) and the latest background save failed. This will make the user aware (in a hard way) that data is not persisting on disk properly, otherwise,strong text chances are that no one will notice and some disaster will happen."

in addition, I want to say that such errors can appear if the radis server is accessible from outside. You need to configure the radis server to listen only localhost. To do this, in the /etc/redis/redis.conf file, change bind parameter to 127.0.0.1
nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
bing 127.0.0.1
After this:
netstat -lnp | grep redis
should show that redis listning 127.0.0.1 insteed 0.0.0.0:*
