I had an app running on port 3000 but deleted it. Now I try to kill that port with kill -9 but it doesn't help. I am trying now to run another app on that port but it gives EADDRINUSE : : : 3000.
Just to note something.
Make sure that you use process ID, not a port.
For example if you run kill -9 3000, it'll kill process with ID 3000, not an app running on that port.
Execute following command:
- sudo netstat -lpn | grep :3000
It should return app with its ID. Use kill command on it
- sudo kill -9 id
`-9 means that process will be forced killed.
Thanks a lot. That helped. It didn't work for me because I used -ap insteand of -lpn.
