Can not connect to Redis besides from localhost

Question

Hello i am using Redis and i am not able to connect to it when i am using a domain except localhost.

StackExchange.Redis.RedisConnectionException: 'No connection is available to service this operation: HEXISTS files; UnableToConnect on [someDomain.com]:6379/Interactive, Initializing/NotStarted, last: NONE, origin: BeginConnectAsync, outstanding: 0, last-read: 1s ago, last-write: 1s ago, keep-alive: 60s, state: Connecting, mgr: 10 of 10 available, last-heartbeat: never, global: 0s ago, v: 2.0.593.37019; IOCP: (Busy=0,Free=1000,Min=8,Max=1000), WORKER: (Busy=0,Free=32767,Min=8,Max=32767), Local-CPU: n/a'

The multiplexer connects and also the flag is of IsConnecting is false.So the connection is done.

class Program {

       // public const string CON = "127.0.0.1:6379,ssl=False,allowAdmin=True,abortConnect=False,defaultDatabase=0";
        public const string CON = "someDomain.com:6379,ssl=False,allowAdmin=True,abortConnect=False,defaultDatabase=0";

        public static async Task<bool> LockFileForEditAsync(int fileId) {
            var multiplexer = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(CON);

            var flag = multiplexer.IsConnecting;
            var database = multiplexer.GetDatabase();
            var exists = await database.HashExistsAsync("files", fileId); //crashes here !!
            return false;
        }

        static async Task Main(string[] args) {
            int fid = 1;
            var locked = await LockFileForEditAsync(fid);
        }
    }

PS I have checked this thread regarding thread theft and i can not find a solution. So why would it work to connect on localhost, and not from another computer to the same redis-server?

Please try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1:6379, I had this error for couple of days. Nothing found. Changing to localhost in connection string did the trick. — CredibleAshok

Try look for this line in your redis server's configuration file

bind 127.0.0.1

If found, comment it out and restart the redis server.
