@yustam thank for this gist save my day 👍

Got follwoing error on EB 64bit Amazon Linux 2016.09 v3.1.0 running Node.js

Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379
    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:893:11)
    at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:916:20)

@yusam really i am very struct with redis configured in AWS elastic beanstalk. I had completed sails.js framework with redis, it is working fine in local machine. How to do make runnable in AWS EB?
Below are i tried steps.

1. ElasticCache - created Redis instance with security group which was created in AWS EB environment instance.
2. sails - config/session.js - In this file, i am just enabled adapter redis and provide options host and port.

But i didnt get AWS EB workable for my sails.js API. Kindly advice.

I'm getting the same error as @yingliangzhang, using single docker application

I have redis-2.8.4, how to update it on EB?

Thank you very much! works perfect to use in my application on 127.0.0.1
