resque no longer starts "Can't assign requested address - connect(2)"

Question

Since a few days I'm unable to start resque I have tried debugging this issue on all kinds of ways to no result ! anyone knows a solution? kind regards

This is the log output from:

 bundle exec rake resque:start

log:

bundle exec rake resque:start --trace

** Invoke resque:workers:start (first_time)
** Execute resque:workers:start
rake aborted!

I tried:

• downgrading redis
• upgrading redis
• downgrading resque + upgrading resque to latest version again
• reset all config files and try again
• all ports are default just default config
• checked if the default ports where closed
• looked true the resque gem code trying to figure out where exactly it happens

Im totally halted because Resque is integral part of my app, please anyone who knows solution let me know.

Answer 1

Well...

It seems that, it looks like it's an incompatibility between resque 1.8.2 and newer versions on red is. Like @bknoles suggested.

Using

gem 'resque', "~> 1.20.0"
gem 'resque-scheduler', :require => 'resque_scheduler'

In gemfile fixes the problem
