const client = redis.createClient(port,host,redis)

client.on('connect', function () {

{ Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379 at Object._errnoException (util.js:1022:11) at _exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1044:20) at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1182:14) code: 'ECONNREFUSED', errno: 'ECONNREFUSED', syscall: 'connect', address: '127.0.0.1', port: 6379 }

Solution

  • The code for connecting to redis seems to work fine. You can check if redis is running on your system:

    sudo service redis status

    If the status is not active try to restart the service. You can refer to this code for creating a better wrapper for redis: https://github.com/kumaranshu72/node_ts_boilerplate/blob/github/src/utils/redis.ts
