Node JS error when I run 'npm start', maybe KrakenJS?


When I try to run my app with 'npm start' it throws this error. I've updated Node and NPM but the error still throwing this error. I'm wondering if their is an issue with KrakenJS?

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • It looks like something is already listening on port 8000. Try running:

    lsof -i:8000
    

    and see if it lists the process. Also you can check http://localhost:8000
