sudo apt-get install redis-server

then run command to confirm that everything ok:

sudo service redis-server status

And the output will be: redis-server is running – that means that the problem is solved.

Install redis on your system first –

brew install redis

redis-server

Solution 6:

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
