Laravel Cache facade not storing data in Redis

[Tawheedyahya]

Hi everyone 👋 I’m facing an issue with Laravel cache and Redis. Here are the details: OS: Ubuntu PHP: PHP 8.3 Laravel: 12 Redis: installed via apt and also tested with Docker

Redis PHP extension: php-redis installed

What I did:

Set Redis as cache store in .env: CACHE_STORE=redis REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1 REDIS_PORT=6379

Cleared config cache: php artisan optimize:clear

Verified in Tinker: config('cache.default'); // returns "redis"

The problem:

Using the Redis facade works: Redis::set('test', 'ok');

But the Cache facade does not store anything: Cache::put('name', 'yahi', 300); Cache::get('name'); // returns value, but key not visible in redis

I use jwt/tymon To generate token but go to dashboard token not provided

I tried for 1 and half day anyone help to rectify this issue

If possible, could you share your config/cache.php and the Redis section from config/database.php?

That would help verify the cache driver, connection, and Redis database configuration.
