deploying redis to heroku unable to connect

Question

ive been trying to get resque to work with heroku. i can successfully get it to work in development mode, however when i try pushing to heroku i get

Errno::E         


        

Answer 1

i fixed it. i can't believe it! my complete solution is

uri = URI.parse(ENV["REDISTOGO_URL"])
REDIS = Redis.new(:host => uri.host, :port => uri.port, :password => uri.password)
Resque.redis = REDIS

verbatim. it works without explicitly setting the url because i guess heroku tries to set it up for me already
