Error: EADDRINUSE, Address already in use

Closed this issue 14 years ago · 6 comments

I'm now getting this error upon running node app.js for any of the example apps:

mcrittenden@freshbook:~/Desktop/picard/examples/basic$ node app.js 

node.js:68
      throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
      ^

kfa1983 I was getting the error because I was already running "node app.js" in another terminal window. You have to make sure you're only running one instance of it.
