Websocket, an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. django-channels

[Mike Johnson Jr]

So I'm getting the error as described in the title of this post.

I'm following this tutorial: 
https://gearheart.io/blog/creating-a-chat-with-django-channels/

Here's the full traceback:

error: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote

I have redis running, manage.py runserver running, and I'm using 
django-channels. This is my first time working with websockets. Can anyone 
help out and let me know what's wrong?
