Laravel : Redis No connection could be made : [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]

Question

I have installed redis with laravel by adding "predis/predis":"~1.0",

Then for testing i added the following code :

public function showRedis($id = 1)
   {
      $user = Redis::get('user:profile:'.$id);
      Xdd($user);
   } 

In app/config/database.php i have :

'redis' => [
        'cluster' => false,
        'default' => [
            'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            'database' => 0,
        ],

    ],

It throws the following error : No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]

I using virtualhost for the project. Using Xampp with windows.

you've got redis set up correctly, andalso check that you're targeting the correct port? – Demirep

Yes everything is good ! I think ! If you need something i can update my question ! – Plateau

Make sure you're running inside Vagrant instead of on your local machine – Cartier

Answer 1

First make sure Redis is actually listening on that port by opening up powershell and typing netstat -aon | more (this command may need to be enabled in features or installed somehow). If it is listening then check your firewall settings. If if not listening then make sure Redis is started and is configured to listen on that port.

It looks like predis/predis is a client library only. See https://packagist.org/packages/predis/predis.

You need to install the Redis server, but it looks like it is not officially supported on Windows. See http://redis.io/download. Per information on that page, it looks like there is a Win64 port for Redis here https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis.

If it still doesn't work after that then update your question with the new error you see.

Yes there isn't 6379 port listening... What should i do ! – Plateau

Hmmm, from a quick google search it looks like predis/predis is merely a Redis client library. Did you install the Redis server? I updated my answer with more info. – Wheelock

Yes i have redis server and installed. – Plateau

Apparently it is not running or not listening on that port.. I would make sure I could reach the redis server directly through by using telnet or a redis client...check out fellowtuts.com/php/…. Besides that you'll want to post all the relevant configs and command outputs to get any more help on this. Also note that this issue is getting into systems stuff and may be more suited for the Super User sister site. – Wheelock

Perfect Man ! Sounds great ! – Plateau

Answer 4

Ref solution: https://rapidsol.blogspot.com/2018/10/php-fatal-error-uncaught.html

It is showing your server is not accepting connections from outside. You need to provide ip of your redis server.

$client = new Predis\Client('tcp://192.168.1.103:6379');
//$client = new Predis\Client();
$client->set('foo', 'bar');
$value = $client->get('foo');
echo $value; exit;

if problem still come then try below steps.

So you need to edit : $sudo vi /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

and find the line bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 and change it to #bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 and then find line protected-mode yes and then change it to protected-mode no

and then restart the redis server

If you are using mac try to install it here

brew install redis

run server

redis-server

I have Mac book pro M1, and the above one worked for me. Thanks! – Guglielma

Answer 6

1. Install redis-server depending your MAC machine.

brew install redis

or 

arch -arm64 brew install redis

2. Run server  If you want to run it for one time use it 

   redis-server

or if you want to run it as background service

brew services start redis

3. Test it This command will open redis environment so you can check on your server side

   redis-cli

You will see environment 127.0.0.1:6379. Just write "ping" and you will get result as "PONG". If you get this result it works.

Answer 7

If you are using Redis, make sure that Redis server is up and running, by default Redis runs on 6379 port.

If you are on local environment when you restart the machine sometimes you might need to restart Redis server as well.
