Laravel 4 : Call to undefined method Redis::connection()

Question

I\'m going crazy about this error. I\'ve got a vagrant VM with Debian 7, generated with Puphpet, installation was fine.

1. Redis is installed and working

Answer 1

I came across this after encountering this issue and wanted to add another answer in case it helps someone else.

In my case there was an alias collision because my php configuration has the PHP-Redis module/extension enabled -- both the PHP module and Laravel seem to have a conflicting object named Redis. I was able to resolve this simply by using the entire namespaced identifier:

//$r = Redis::connection() 
$r = Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis::connection();
