Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379. Connection refused. Django Heroku

Question

I am able to run redis locally and everything works.

However when I deploy to heroku I get this error:

Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379. Conn         


        

Answer 1

May be not directly related to your question but I was facing same error and it turn out that on my system redis-server package was not installed.

Problem was resolved with,

Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install redis-server

Cent OS: sudo yum install redis
