seems a more general problem within the os than a bug with web2py and redis. although I'm a heavy user of redis, I never encountered that error. this http://askubuntu.com/questions/142508/how-to-fix-5-no-address-associated-with-hostname-error-while-updating is just a reference on a similar error on a totally different problem (resolving hostnames for apt sources) but indeed is related to the same "issue" : something is going on strangely on your server and it doesn't resolve properly what "localhost" is. Shameless trial to fix the problem (read: it may work, but I can't test it cause I can't reproduce the error): try replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1
