# Redis not emitting events
|
||||
|
||||
When you create a new Medusa project, Redis is disabled by default. Instead, we use a fake Redis server, that allows you to start your project, but holds no functionality.
|

When you create a new Medusa server, Redis is disabled by default. Instead, a fake Redis server is used that allows you to start your project but does not actually emit any events.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable a real Redis server, you need to install and start it up on your PC. Install it directly from their [website](https://redis.io/download) or use Homebrew and run the following commands:
|
||||
To enable a real Redis server, you need to install Redis on your machine and configure it with Medusa.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
brew install redis
|
||||
brew services start redis
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can learn how to [install Redis in the Set Up your Development Environment documentation](../tutorial/0-set-up-your-development-environment.mdx#redis).
|
||||
|
||||
Additonally, ensure that `redis_url` is not commented out in your project configuration in the bottom of your `medusa-config.js`.
|
||||
After installing it, make sure to configure your Medusa server to use Redis:
|
||||
|
||||
```jsx
|
||||
module.exports = {
|
||||
projectConfig: {
|
||||
redis_url: REDIS_URL, // <-- Enables a real Redis server
|
||||
database_url: DATABASE_URL,
|
||||
database_type: "postgres",
|
||||
store_cors: STORE_CORS,
|
||||
admin_cors: ADMIN_CORS,
|
||||
//...
|
||||
redis_url: REDIS_URL,
|
||||
},
|
||||
plugins,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Medusa connects to Redis over the URL `redis://localhost:6379`. If you need to change that URL, set the following environment variable:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
REDIS_URL=<YOUR_REDIS_URL>
|
||||
```
|
||||
