Channels: Connection failed (error 111)

Created on 17 Jul 2016 · 5Comments · Source: django/channels

Hello,

I am trying to follow the tutorial on read the docs, I am at this paragraph : https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html#running-with-channels. I installed asgi_redis and I set up my channel layer.

But when I run this command manage.py runworker (before I run manage.py runserver --noworker) , I have this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
