This is probably the known issue where redis is blocking / doesn't accept any connections anymore. Make sure that you have commented out all: save xyz statements in your redis.conf, delete the dump.rdb of redis and then restart redis. There are quite a lot posts here at the channel or at the mailinglists about that where updating redis like explained above helped.
