Connection refused [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379] Laravel 5.6

Question

I've been struggling with starting redis on my system and all i get is connection refused ! I tried : config/database , switch between 127.0.0.1 and localhost and .... So what can i do to make it work ? Notice : i'm using laradock and other packages are working just fine

Answer 1

Instead of using localhost or 127.0.0.1, you must use the ((redis)) in .env Laravel.

According to the above code:

REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD
REDIS_PORT=6379
