I am trying to access redis from a lua script in my nginx.conf file on my openresty nginx server. The following is the lua script, I am using the content_by_lua_file directive to refer to it.

local redis = require "resty.redis"
local red = redis:new()
local ok, err = red:connect("127.0.0.1", 6379)
if not ok then
    ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "Redis connection failure: " .. err)
    return
end

I get runtime error ... attempt to call method 'connect' (a nil value)

What's going on here? Thanks

Your code snippet works fine on my OpenResty. I use openresty/openresty:xenial Docker image. – Alexander Altshuler Aug 01 '17 at 08:29
Well I had to add this directive lua_package_path "/usr/local/openresty/lualib/resty/?.lua;;"; in the http context then it worked – Ayudh Aug 01 '17 at 09:55

IMO if it will package.path issue you should get an error on require (first line) – Alexander Altshuler Aug 01 '17 at 10:32
but that wasn't the case unfortunately – Ayudh Aug 02 '17 at 05:49
Did you saved the issue? – serghei Feb 25 '21 at 08:04
