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

Install Redis extension on your PC.

Download the CORRECT version the DDL from the following link: https://pecl.php.net/package/redis/4.1.0/windows

Put the dll in the correct folder

Wamp -> C:\wamp\bin\php\php-XXXX\ext
Laragon -> C:\laragon\bin\php\php-XXX\ext

Edit the php.ini file adding

extension=php_redis.dll

Restart server and check phpinfo();. Now Redis should be there!
