JSON-server connection breaks

I'm using GET and POST requests to apply RESTful conventions multiple times in my application. But this results in breaking my JSON-server connection. Does anyone know what is the reason behind this? Any idea that why I'm facing this problem?

Error that I'm getting is:

POST /points/ 201 10.344 ms - 289
POST /intersections/ 201 15.447 ms - 504
POST /points/ 201 7.159 ms - 307
POST /intersections/ 201 12.089 ms - 486

Solution

  • I was getting the same error in my development environment, when changes to the db.json file were made and the json-server automatically reloaded. Sometimes it would come back with the "port already in use" error, regardless of which port I would specify (100% certain it was not used by any other application).

    I was able to get rid of this error by specifying the --host 127.0.0.1 parameter when starting the json-server.
