How to fix ‘Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379’ when starting rq-worker Connection refused’？
I use flask, redis, and rq-worker in a web application hosted on a Debian 9 machine. When I start rq-worker, I get this error: “Error 111 Connect to localhost: 6379. Connection refused”.
I’ve checked if Redis is installed and running, I tried the commands :
/opt/apps/mywebapp/flask$ ps aux | grep redis
sib 4987 0.0 0.0 12784 976 pts/2 S+ 09:37 0:00 grep redis
redis 6574 0.1 0.0 40860 3512 ? Ssl may28 3:38 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379
/opt/apps/mywebapp/flask$ redis-cli ping
PONG
I’ve read other posts and here’s evidence that Redis is running and running.
I also checked the file redis.conf and set this variable :
bind 127.0.0.1
I tried again.
/opt/apps/mywebapp/flask$ rq worker
But I keep getting the error.
Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379. Connection refused.
Solution
Sorry, it’s the bin property of redis, I set 127.0.0.1::
00, but the correct configuration is 127.0.0.1::01.
