Question

Im trying to active my localhost:5000

I type in 'source runMac.sh' into the terminal while the virtual environment is active (env)

I get this error: socket.error: [Errno 48] Address already in use

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Error Reason: Its because the port you are trying to bind is already in use.

Solution:

1) Try using a different Port
a) First of all start your server with different port, lets say 5001
b) Then use the same port in local host , localhost:5001

2) Do a grep and find the process using that port kill that process and then run again


Better solution is to use different port (1)


Thanks, Use that solution and let me know if it works. If not PLEASE COMMENT AND I will make it work.
