I created a simple website with express, with chat feature using sockect.io. I was told that the conversations where droping all the time so I checked if I had any errors and I found this.
Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::3000
but after doing sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P
I see only one app running on port 3000

any idea how to get rid of that error?
