You have an error in a callback-function which is called by redis:

// from https://github.com/mranney/node_redis/blob/master/index.js
if (command_obj && typeof command_obj.callback === "function") {
    try {
        command_obj.callback(err);
    } catch (callback_err) {
        // if a callback throws an exception, re-throw it on a new stack so the parser can keep going
        process.nextTick(function () {
            throw callback_err;
        });
    }
}

The real problem is that you cannot connect to mongodb and this throws an exception in a callback function invoked by redis-client.

To catch the error and print it to the console:

redisClient.on('error', function (err) {
    console.log('Error ' + err);
});

You may also want to add handling of different forms of errors in later as well.
