Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused with homebrew

Question

Using homebrew to install Redis but when I try to ping Redis it shows this error:

Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused
         


        

Answer 1

Had that issue with homebrew MacOS the problem was some sort of permission missing on /usr/local/var/log directory see issue here

In order to solve it I deleted the /usr/local/var/log and reinstall redis brew reinstall redis
