title: 'Redis not emitting events'

This troubleshooting guide only applies to Medusa backends using versions before v1.8 of the core Medusa package.
|

|
|
|
|
When you create a new Medusa backend, Redis is disabled by default. Instead, a fake Redis backend is used that allows you to start your project but does not actually emit any events.
|
|
|
|
To enable a real Redis backend, you need to install Redis on your machine and configure it with Medusa.
|
|
|
|
You can learn how to [install Redis in the Set Up your Development Environment documentation](../development/backend/prepare-environment.mdx#redis).
|
|
|
|
After installing it, make sure to configure your Medusa backend to use Redis:
|
|
|
|
```jsx title="medusa-config.js"
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
projectConfig: {
|
|
// ...
|
|
redis_url: REDIS_URL,
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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>
|
|
```
