Double-check the log. Before the line you listed, do you get these lines:
LOG: could not bind socket for statistics collector: Cannot assign requested address
LOG: disabling statistics collector for lack of working socket
If that is the case, solve that problem first. What you most likely need to do to solve that, is add an entry like this to your /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
It could very well be the case that the file currently assigns localhost to IPv6, with a line like this:
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
If that is the case, you ALSO need to change that line to:
::1 ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
