Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379. Connection refused. Django Heroku
Solution 1:
May be not directly related to your question but I was facing same error and it turn out that on my system redis-server package was not installed.
Problem was resolved with,
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install redis-server
Cent OS: sudo yum install redis
Solution 2:
The solution is sudo apt-get install redis-server.
Don't forget to start your service by sudo service redis-server start
and you can use the command sudo service redis-server {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status} for reference
