How to stop server? about jsonplaceholder

[dmbdesignpdx]

Not sure if this too late or if this is even the solution to the problem you are experiencing, but here it goes:

If this is the error you're getting or something similar:
Error: Address already in use - bind(2)

Type in the command line:
lsof -wni tcp:[port]
where [port] is the port number that's in conflict

If that port is in conflict, there should be list of one or more uses. To stop them, type
kill -9 [PID]
where [PID] is the process ID indicated by the column title "PID".

That should do it.

Actually ctrl-C should be enough. But if it says Address in use, you already have a process listening on port 3000.

It may be another instance of jsonplaceholder or some other development server (since port 3000 is quite common).

You should try to find if there's already a running jsonplaceholder server and kill it. Or if you have a server listening on port 3000, start jsonplaceholder on another port.

I attached it to gulp serve, gulp port 3000, json-server port 9000 but it doesnt increase port itself as gulp does, is there any command to shutdown server by script? So when i press Ctrl+C, json-server will shutdown with gulp serve

I faced the same issue i forgot toctrl+c, before closing the terminal, now it's giving EADDRINUSE for the same port.
