Fix Redis Connection Refused After Upgrading to 6.0

Originally published at recca0120.github.io Problem After upgrading Redis to 6.0.5, connecting with redis-cli threw this error: Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused Starting from Redis 6.0, the default configuration binds to specific network interfaces, and protected-mode defaults to yes , which blocks even localhost connections. Solution Edit redis.conf and adjust two settings: # Comment out the bind line to make Redis listen on all interfaces # bind 192.168.0.5 # Disable protected mode protected-mode no Restart Redis after making the changes and connections should work again. Note This is fine for development environments. For production, keep protected-mode yes and use password authentication or firewall rules to control access instead.
