Rescue : Connection refused - Unable to connect to Redis on localhost:6379

Question

I have followed the instructions to install resque, but now when I try to spawn a worker with this command I get a connection error:

$ QUEUE=mailer rake env         


        

Answer 1

Use redis-server to Start the server and then use redis-cli ping to test if the server is up. You should receive a pong if the server is started. This was taken straight from the docs. enter link description here
