Redis connection [cache] not configured error with laravel - laravel

Question

I am trying to use redis for caching in laravel.
I have install redis locally and I know it is working as I am able to run horizon queues and workers.
I also get a response when doing
redis-cli PING
but when I try this code
$user = Cache::get('User:' .$Id , function ($Id) {
return User::where('id', '=', $Id)->firstOrFail();
});
I get the error
Redis connection [cache] not configured.
I have changed my .env to have the following entry
CACHE_DRIVER=redis

Answer 1

Find this in cache.php
'redis' => [
'driver' => 'redis',
'connection' => 'cache',
],
and change it to:
'redis' => [
'driver' => 'redis',
'connection' => 'default',
],

Answer 2

can u set redis configration in config/database.php like this
'redis' => [
'client' => 'predis',
'default' => [
'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', 'footbar'), //if password otherwise set null
'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
'database' => 0,
],
],
other wise set in .env file
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379
then run artisan command
php artisan config:cache
php artisan config:clear

step 1 : Configuration : config/database.php add below array
'redis' => array(
'cluster' => false,
'default' => array(
'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
'database' => env(‘REDIS_DATABASE',0),
),
),
Step 2 : Configuration : .env file
CACHE_DRIVER=redis
REDIS_DATABASE=0
Step 3 : Config/cache.php
'redis' => [
'driver' => 'redis',
'connection' => 'default',
],

Answer 4

Additionally to other answer and in case that you use the redis as queue driver, verify that redis connection is set to "default" in the queue.phpconfiguration file.
