InfluxDB port 8088

Question

Just installed InfluxDB v.1.1.0 on CentOS, but when I try to start the service it complains about port 8088 already being in use by another application:

[run] 2016/11/28 13:50:54 InfluxDB starting, version 1.1.0, branch master, commit 800da5732b91c816b0a097acf8887fa2af1efa1a
[run] 2016/11/28 13:50:54 Go version go1.7.3, GOMAXPROCS set to 4
[run] 2016/11/28 13:50:54 Using configuration at: /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
run: open server: listen: listen tcp :8088: bind: address already in use

Where is this port configured and how do I change it? There's nothing mentioned about it in /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf.

Found 6286 on Github.

Running influxd config | head -n 10 gives you the configuration.

Adding bind-address = ":<port>" somewhere at the top of the file in /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf solves the problem.
