Answer 1

Usually this problem arises after I shut down my computer ( or leaving running ) an irregular way.. I believe the port gets stuck open, while the process stops but continues to be bound to the previous port.

9/10 times the fix can be:

$ ps aux | grep redis

-> MyUser 2976  0.0  0.0  2459704    320   ??  S    Wed01PM   0:29.94 redis-server *:6379

$ kill 2976

$ redis-server

Good to go.
