Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED

I working with node.js by expressjs
I try to store an account to session. So, i try to test to use session with code in expressjs

var RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(express);
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({ secret: "keyboard cat", store: new RedisStore }));

but I got error Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED.
Please help me resolve this problem

After you install redis, type from terminal:

redis-server

and you'll have redis running

I solve this problem in next way:

sudo apt-get install redis-server

then run command to confirm that everything ok:

sudo service redis-server status
redis-server is running

I used ubuntu 12.04 I solved that problem by installing redis-server

redis-server installation for ubuntu 12.04

some configuration will new root permission Also listed manuals for other OS

Thanks

I also have the same problem, first I tried to restart redis-server by sudo service restart but the problem still remained. Then I removed redis-server by sudo apt-get purge redis-server and install it again by sudo apt-get install redis-server and then the redis was working again. It also worth to have a look at redis log which located in here /var/log/redis/redis-server.log

For windows platform, You must check if redis-server is running on given ip:port. you can find redis configuration at installation directory /conf/redis.conf. by default client accept 127.0.0.1:6379.

I'm on windows, and had to install Redis from here and then run redis-server.exe.

From the top of this SO question.

I'm on MBP , and install redis detail my problem was resolved .Fixed the Download, extract and compile Redis with:

Try upgrading your node to latest version.
