Redis Connection Refused
I am trying to deploy a Flask app with Redis but am getting the following error: "Error 111 connecting to 127.0.0.1:6379. Connection refused."
I have tried to figure this out through forums online but as a beginner I'm finding it very difficult to know what steps apply to me. I'm sure I'm missing something basic. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If your connecting to redis. The
127.0.01:6379 is the part that need changing. Replace this with the redis connection URL ( this probally can be found via the railway ui ) asuming your hosting redis on railway toThanks for you reply. I'm not able to find the url, not sure what you mean by via railway ui.
Also I came across this page: https://docs.railway.app/databases/redis
should I be supplying these variables?

Sorry I'm not seeing a connect tab - checked in the project page and in settings. Could you please point me to it? Or could I just do this in the variables tab.

Ok I added the url to my app but now I'm getting this error: "Error -2 connecting to redis://default:[email protected]:6835. Name or service not known."
yeah your going to want to rotate your password now.
the connection url you just pasted contains a username and password needed to connect to redis
default:sUOkdTSrwlMVuWMMDFEf
tbh it would not suprise me if there were userbots on this discord that scrape for these kind of thingstrue how do I change the password? Create new redis?
im not sure
not used it myself
Guess I'll just do that
Also this is how I added it in my app... I'm assuming this is right?
ah
so
if your using a railway redis instance the password should be injected automatically into your process'es eviroment variables. so you should just change the string for
this:
( 1 sec )
os.getenv('REDIS_URL')
( hopefully that shoudl work 🤞)Tried that and same error but this time for some reason the error log showed the url with port 6379 (the Redis default I think) appended to it, so the ending was ".app:6146:6379." In this case I did not have port argument from the screenshot.
I then added the port argument but got the error again, this time with the ending ".app:6146:6146"
Now I've tried to get the 3 variables into a string excluding the port and kept the port argument, same error but now the ending is just ".app:6146"
are you able to post the logs and your code again plz
current attempt:
"Error -2 connecting to redis://default:**@containers-us-west-24.railway.app:6146. Name or service not known."
first attempt:
"Error -2 connecting to redis://default:*@containers-us-west-24.railway.app:6146:6379. Name or service not known"
* is where password was
try taking out redis//
no luck
currently here: "Error -2 connecting to default:*@containers-us-west-24.railway.app:6146. Name or service not known."
and without the username / pass you get authentication error right?
I've always had it in but I'll check
oh it looks like you pass them seperately
ig that would work
https://docs.redis.com/latest/rs/references/client_references/client_python/
In hostname should I pass REDISHOST or REDIS_URL?
try host
Worked! Hopefully no more issues, thank you so much.
nice
no worries
