Class Redis Not found

Laravel uses different components like Redis to boost performance. Redis helps with caching and broadcasting. However, errors related to missing Composer packages or Redis installations is common.

Today, we are going to take a look at the reasons behind these errors and help you resolve them.

The most frequent cause of these errors lies in either a missing Composer package or an absent Redis installation. Before diving into solutions, we have to decide if Redis is necessary for our system. If not, we may have to change our drivers to an alternative option.

Solution 1: Installing Predis Package

If Redis is critical, we have to install the Predis Composer package. This can be done by running this command:

composer require predis/predis

After successful installation, we can use Redis as a cache or broadcast driver.

Solution 2: Configuring Redis

In case the error pops up even after installing the Predis package, it may be due to the Redis installation. In this scenario, follow these steps:

• For phpredis Extension:

  If we run into an error setting phpredis, it is probably due to the phpredis extension. Then, we have to make sure the extension is installed:

  sudo apt-get install php-redis
• For Predis Authentication Error:

  If the error is authentication-related when using Predis, we have to set a password in our .env file:

  REDIS_PASSWORD=Redis.123

  After that, run:

  artisan config:clear

  Furthermore, we have to mention the Redis container name in the .env file:

  REDIS_HOST=redis-master

  Additionally, Laravel 8 users have to head to the database.php file and replace:

  'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'phpredis')

  with:

  'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'predis')

  Then, we have to add the Predis dependency with Composer:

  composer require predis/predis

  With the above steps, we can handle the Redis-related errors in our Laravel application.
