ImportError: No module named redis_cache

Question

I am using Django=1.5.4 and I have installed redis properly in ubuntu. I installed django-redis. But I get this error. I put 'redis_cache' in my django settings. But I got this error

ImportError: No module named redis_cache

What to do?

Answer 1

You are supposed to add django_redis instead of redis_cache.

The documentation says:

if you are coming from django-redis < 3.8.x, you are probably using redis_cache. Since django-redis 3.8.x, redis_cache module is deprecated in favor to django_redis. The redis_cache module will be removed in 3.9.x versions.

Answer 2

Redis cache backend for Django

Run python setup.py install to install, or place django_redis on your Python path.

You can also install it with: pip install django-redis

Answer 3

Use following command as available at this:

pip install redis-simple-cache

Answer 4

you are missing django_redis module run below command to add the module:

pip install django-redis
