连接被拒绝 [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379] Laravel Predis

Question

I'm trying to setup Redis client to connect to the Redis server in Laravel 6.0 version, but when I try to change the REDIS_HOST in database.php file in config it gives me an error:

Connection refused 127.0.0.1:6379

This is how my code looks like in routes api.php file

Route::get('test',function(Request $request){

  $redis=Redis::connection();
  $redis->set("key1","keyValue");
  $a=$redis->get("key1");
  return response()->json( ['test'=>$a,]);
});

and this is how my database.php file looks like

      'redis' => [

            'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'predis'),

            'options' => [
                'cluster' => env('REDIS_CLUSTER', 'redis'),
                'prefix' => env('REDIS_PREFIX', Str::slug(env('APP_NAME', 'laravel'), '_').'_database_'),
            ],

            'default' => [
                'url' => env('REDIS_URL'),
                'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
                'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
                'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
                'database' => env('REDIS_DB', 0),
            ],

            'cache' => [
                'url' => env('REDIS_URL'),
                'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
                'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
                'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
                'database' => env('REDIS_CACHE_DB', 1),
            ],
        ],

So when i change the REDIS_HOST its gives me error,any idea is my code problem the configurations?

Thanks !

I encountered this on my MacBook and fixed it by installing Redis using homebrew as directed here

PS: I'm working with Laravel 8.40
