I tried to start a project
node index.js , I got this
events.js:173 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::3000 at Server.setupListenHandle [as _listen2] (net.js:1255:14) at listenInCluster (net.js:1303:12) at Server.listen (net.js:1391:7) at Function.listen (/home/forge/bheng/public/ios-base-api/node_modules/express/lib/application.js:618:24) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/forge/bheng/public/ios-base-api/index.js:156:5) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:721:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:732:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:620:32) at tryModuleLoad (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:560:12) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:552:3) Emitted 'error' event at: at emitErrorNT (net.js:1282:8) at internalTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:72:19) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:47:5) at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:777:11) at executeUserCode (internal/bootstrap/node.js:342:17) at startExecution (internal/bootstrap/node.js:276:5) at startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:227:5) at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:743:3) Then, I ran lsof -i | grep 3000, I got
