Iptables blocks localhost from accessing redis

I have the following iptables rules:

`
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s MY_IP_ADDRESS/32 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 6379 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -i lo -p tcp -m tcp --dport 6379 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -j DROP
-A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --sport 22 -j ACCEPT

`` As you can see, I can ssh into my server from everywhere, and I can access my redis db from my local IP (MY_IP_ADDRESS) and localhost. From my computer itself,

-cli -h xx.xx.xx.xx -p 6379

works. But on the server itself, I cannot connect to the redis db from

-cli

. When I delete the following iptables rule, it works again:

`
-A INPUT -j DROP

` How can I allow localhost connections to my redis server?
