            console.log("redis conn successful");
            app.listen(PORT, () =>
                console.log(
                    `server started on port ${PORT}`
                )
            );

        .connect({ url: REDIS_URL });

Brody•8mo ago

have you confirmed that REDIS_URL is the correct value

joao•8mo ago

yes its an env var which i set in the dashboard imma try via public netwk

Brody•8mo ago

from this error, it looks like it's trying to connect to localhost, and port 6379, Which is the default when you don't supply the correct information to the connect constructor

joao•8mo ago

nope not it yeah i know because of the ipv6 loopback addr lol i checked that but the env var is set

Brody•8mo ago

that's not it, you're thinking of something that's doesn't apply here please confirm your code is seeing the proper redis url can you also show me how you have set the REDIS_URL in code

joao•8mo ago

yes the app has access to the variable the REDIS_URL is the value from destructuring process.env

Brody•8mo ago

have you printed that variable to confirm it's correct value?

joao•8mo ago

yup

Brody•8mo ago

okay i will try to reproduce
