Laravel : Redis No connection could be made : [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]
<p>I have installed redis with laravel by adding <code>"predis/predis":"~1.0"</code>,</p>

<p>Then for testing i added the following code :</p>

<pre><code>public function showRedis($id = 1)
   {
      $user = Redis::get('user:profile:'.$id);
      Xdd($user);
   } 
</code></pre>

<p>In app/config/database.php i have :</p>

<pre><code>'redis' =&gt; [
        'cluster' =&gt; false,
        'default' =&gt; [
            'host' =&gt; env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'password' =&gt; env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port' =&gt; env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            'database' =&gt; 0,
        ],

    ],
</code></pre>

<p>It throws the following error : <code>No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]</code></p>

<p>I using <code>virtualhost</code> for the project.
Using <code>Xampp with windows</code>.</p>
