Redis pub / sub subsribe returning connection error

I am on Laravel 5.1 and am following the guide here: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/redis#pubsub

I created a simple socket.io server and on the client side I fired a message to my channel, the socket.io server was able to log the message.

However, I ran the command I did for redis pub / sub, it got nothing when the client side issued a message. After a while, an error is thrown:

[Predis \ Connection \ ConnectionException] An error occurred while reading a line from the server. [TCP: //127.0.0.1: 6379]

Then I tried using the post method in the team, it works. Socket.io server is capable of logging a message.

Here's my console command

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class ChannelSub extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'channel:sub';

    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Command description.';

    /**
     * Create a new command instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle()
    {

        Redis::subscribe(['my-channel'], function($message) {
            $this->info($message);
        });
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Try with

php artisan channel:sub

      

        
        
        
      

    

I am using predis / predis to support Redis in Laravel.
