Answer 1

In case you install Redis with composer require predis/predis, you need to add this line to .env file:

REDIS_CLIENT=predis 

Then clear cache by run this command: php artisan optimize:clear

---

An additional way you can change this line in config/database.php file:

From:

'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'phpredis'), 

To:

'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'predis'), 

Then clear cache by run this command: php artisan optimize:clear

Answer 2

Php redis extension is missing.

There are two ways:

1. Install php redis extension (answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/61325340/3578207)
2. Change driver to predis (REDIS_CLIENT in .env) and install predis composer package (composer require predis/predis).

But predis little bit slower that phpredis.

P.S.: (for way number 1): After installing phpredis extension you need to add this to composer.json into require section as "ext-redis": "*" for proper deployments. See about composer platform requirements.
