1504617 - Travis builds failing with "ConnectionError: Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

All Travis builds have started failing with:

"""
E           ConnectionError: Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379. Connection refused.
../../../venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django_redis/cache.py:39: ConnectionError
"""

It looks like Redis server is no longer running by default, which appears to be due to:
https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-cookbooks/pull/999

We'll need to start it manually ourselves now.
