Error 99 while using redislite with my flask application

Question

In my flask application I use a docker redis container (through flask caching), so I have specified the necessary parameters in the config file.

For some tests though I am using redislite and I delete the HOST and PORT from the config file. So I expect that the application will try to connect to the redislite socket. However, I get this message:

Error 99 connecting to localhost:6379. Cannot assign requested address.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

My mistake was that in the config file the CACHE_TYPE was still RedisCache, while it should be NullCache.
