How To Solve Nodemon: Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::5000 Error ?

Solution 1

Just make sure You might have other instances of the terminal that is already running your node server. If you are using Visual Studio Code, check your terminals.

Solution 2

--delay helped me to fix both of issues

• on auto-restart
• stopping with ctrl-cnodemon --delay 500ms app.js

Solution 3

You can try running your server on some other port like 3000.

If you still want to use the same port, then you can use the following command to get the list of the running processes on that particular port:

lsof -i tcp:3000 

Use following command in terminal to kill that running port

sudo kill -9 $(lsof -i tcp: 3000 -t)

Solution 4

I used this to fix the same problem

process.once('SIGUSR2', 
  function () { 
    process.kill(process.pid, 'SIGUSR2'); 
  }
);
