Possible solution for redis connection issues...

[vkynchev]

Possible fix for people having connection problems with redis is to change Providers/Redis/RedisProvider.cs:62
from Client = new RedisClient(_config.Host, _config.Port, _config.Password, "version=2.6");
to Client = new RedisClient(_config.Host, _config.Port, _config.Password, "version=2.6,abortConnect=false,ssl=false");

Hi!
What kind of redis connection issues do you expect to resolve by such changes?

[vkynchev]

I am hosting everything in docker containers and they are linked between each other with virtual network. Their IPs are dynamic, so the only way to access them is by hostname (which is set in docker-compose.yaml)...
The issue happens when I try to connect to redis' hostname(redis:6379), but if I setup port-forwarding to the main host and connect to the host IP (192.168.1.xxx:6379) it is connecting...
This is the error: It was not possible to connect to the redis server(s); to create a disconnected multiplexer, disable AbortOnConnectFail. Nothing else, no timeout or so...

BTW: I'm using latest redis image which is 4.0

Ok, thank you. I'll try it on my stand and commit then.

According to #4 (comment) the reason was bug in StackExchange v1.2.5-1.2.6.
The changes proposed do not really help to resolve the issue: they expect to get connection on multiplexer object instantiation.
