Redis error on start: invalid bind address

redis

I am seeing in the following in my redis log:

[1398] 17 Jun 22:55:53.467 # Opening port 6379: invalid bind address

When trying to start redis with service redis start. However, I confirmed that is nothing bound to port 6379 by running:

lsof -i :6379

I even rebooted the server just to make sure, but still getting invalid bind address. Running:

CentOS release 6.4
Redis 2.6.13

Any idea what could be going on?

Changed address binding from localhost to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/redis.conf and it started working.
