Searching for help with peculiar issue. Each time I stop and restart the server, I get this message:
Jim@Jim-PC MINGW64 ~/nodeProjects/express-locallibrary-tutorial

I change the port to 3301, it works. I stop and restart the server and receive an error that 3301 is already in use. I change the port to 3302 and it works. Stop and start and get error that 3302 is already in use.
I stopped using nodemon several days ago for the same issue on another application, and it stopped. For this application, I installed nodemon, but not globally, ran into issues and uninstalled it. But the issue persists.
I would appreciate any ideas on a solution if anyone has encountered this.
