I have installed Django-Channels but while running the daphne-server I am getting this error given below:

File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chann         


        

Answer 1

With asgiref-2.3.2 and maybe more, you need to install channel_redis.

NOT asgi_redis.

pip install channel_redis
