Why won't redis start in Laravel 4?

Question

Redis

If you write
$redis = DBRedis::connection(); then artisan queue:listen gives Fatal error :
Class 'Redis' not
found
connection();
then it gives a Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in ...\src\Illuminate\Redis\Database.php on line 71
Please tell a newbie what to do, how to finally start redis?

Answer 1

Try writing at the beginning of the file

use Redis;
use DBRedis;

It seems to me that this is a jamb in the facades.

Answer 2

everything about Redis is here laravel.com/docs/4.2/redis
check config/db
