composer-rest-server Unhandled 'error' event

When I try composer-rest-server -c acme-admin@test-bna I get this output:

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::3000

I am actually doing a udemy course about how to setup a hyperledger multi org network.

Solution

  • The error is showing that the port 3000 is busy.

    EADDRINUSE means some process is already running on that port.

    You can find the process by using the following command:

    sudo ss -lptn 'sport = :3000'

    It will return you process id, then you can kill it by:

    sudo kill -9 process_id
