 * Hello,
 * In cPanel, checking the website’s home directory, I found a file error_log filled
   with stuff like this:
 * [19-May-2020 18:33:14 UTC] Connection refused
    [19-May-2020 18:35:15 UTC] Connection
   refused [19-May-2020 18:37:16 UTC] Connection refused [19-May-2020 18:38:15 UTC]
   Connection refused
 * After contacting hosting provider’s tech. support, they said it must be a WordPress
   plugin problem.
 * So I disabled all the plugins for a test – and when enabling LiteSpeed cache –
   the error occurs.
 * When all the other plugins are enabled, there are no more new lines added to 
   the error_log.
 * So I suspect something to be related to PHP, and LiteSpeed plugin.
    PHP used 
   is 7.3.
 * Any idea how to fix this?
 * EDIT/UPDATE:
 * Object cache seems to be causing the problem. Redis is enabled in PHP (and the
   plugin recognizes that), but it shows connection error.
 * This is the printscreen:

 * Turns out it was server related. Nothing to do with the plugin.

 * Hi [@bikegremlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bikegremlin/) do you know
   what specifically was wrong with the server? I’m experiencing the same issue 
   now. Thanks.

 * Yes – Redis service needed to be restarted.
