Npm app setup could not read config

[RayZhang01]

On mac(10.9), during npm app --setup, I got "could-not-read-config"

node app --setup

could-not-read-config

That error is thrown in meta.js

list: function (callback) {
    db.getObject('config', function (err, config) {
        if(err) {
            return callback(new Error('could-not-read-config'));        
        }

Which means something went wrong with the database. Is redis running?
