This happens when the default port 8000 is already taken by another program. In the spirit of friendlier messages elm-reactor should say something like "Default port 8000 is already taken please try another port with 'elm-reactor -p 80801".

Makes sense. Looks like it's the same as elm-lang/elm-reactor#108 so I am going to close here. Can you tell folks the root problem on that issue and suggest that we have a nicer error message?

(I think the error messages are nicer already on mac and linux, which may explain why I did not see this earlier)
