Class Redis not found in laravel horizon

Question

I'm having problems with redis on calling laravel-horizon to see the events and jobs.

I installed php-redis with this command.

sudo apt-get install php-redis

Redis it's working because i can login onto redis-cli and throw a ping a command. It response is "PONG" .

My php version is 7.4.

I'm using BREW to manage the php versions.

I restarted the PC and restated the apache service. I cleared the laravel cache and config with artisan optimize

After doing all, when i try to call laravel horizon, it says that Class Redis not found

On laravel config database.php on redis client is using phpredis, but i can't change this option because the are other people on the proyect.

Thanks

From the terminal where you are running the command based on your PHP configurations run php -m this will show the list of installed PHP extensions. If the list is missing redis then install redis extension by running pecl install redis . If you have multiple php versions then you could install the extension on linux system by running sudo apt install php8.1-redis .
