错误：监听 EADDRINUSE：地址已在使用:::5000

Question

Every time I save some changes to the server, nodemon fails to refresh the server with the following error:

Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::5000

I've been using sudo lsof -i:5000 and then kill -9 [PID] to resolve it but I've to do it every 2 mins or so. Any permanent solution so that the server is actually killed and then restarted on refresh?

Answer 1

I had the same problem as yours.

In my situation, my IDE is VSCode and I use the integrated terminal . The problem is even we close server with Ctrl+C (or Ctrl+Z), the server is actually not stop. So you should close the whole VSCode (or your other IDE) window and reopen it.

Answer 2

try this two command in Terminal-

sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=582222 && sudo sysctl -p

sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=582222

I hope will help you.
