NodeJS error events.js:182 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::3000

Question

Problems with the server NodeJS installed npm package nodemon tried everything, nothing works error events.js:182 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::3000

var http = require('http');

var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  console.log('Responding to a request.');
  res.end('<h1>Hello, World!</h1>');
});
server.listen(3000);

EADDRINUSE = Error, Address in Use. Port 3000 is already in use man. How about 8000? — ElmoVanKielmo, Nov 23 '17 at 22:10

You can run netstat -abno as described here to figure out what process is bound to port 3000 and kill it using the task manager or by using Taskkill in cmd

Failing that you can call server.listen(8080) or some other port number besides 3000
