<p>I am trying to connect to redis to save my object in it, but it gives me this error when i try to connect</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Error 10061 connecting to 127.0.0.1:6379. No connection could be made
  because the target machine actively refused it</p>
</blockquote>

<p>How does it work, what should i give in location and i am on a proxy from my company. Need some detailed explanation on location. </p>

<p>if your redis is password protected, you should have a config like this:</p>

<pre><code>CACHES.update({
    "redis": {
        "BACKEND": "redis_cache.cache.RedisCache",
        "LOCATION": "redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1",
        "OPTIONS": {
             "PASSWORD": "XXXXXXXXXXX",
             "CLIENT_CLASS": "redis_cache.client.DefaultClient",
        },
    },
})
</code></pre>

python django redis
