ERROR listen eaddrinuse when I reload for the second time the forum

[Doppy]

I use vagrant to load my forum instance. So when I do in my console ./nodebb dev
the first time it works normally. But when close the first instance and in the same console I do again ./nodebb dev I obtain this:

Anyone can help me?

Seems like you don't stop nodebb when you close the first instance. I don't really know how vagrant works, but:

Try running

sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :4567

It should give you something like:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4567            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      12345/nodejs   

where 12345 is the Process ID. You can kill the instance by doing sudo kill -9 12345.

Or probably you can do something like ./nodebb stop (dunno actually)?

@Giggiux If I do

sudo kill -9 12345

(kill the process post) and after this operation runs the forum it works. But if I do

./nodebb stop

It doesn't work. Do you know why?

[Giggiux]

I think it's something with vagrant, so when you do ./nodebb dev it loads it in background or whatever, so you can kill it.
Try to do ./nodebb start (instead of dev), so you can stop it with ./nodebb stop, or do something that lets you manually kill ./nodebb dev (normally with ctrl^c)

@Giggiux I installed the plugin in another new instance but the error persist with the plugin so I think that the error is in the plugin. How can find it?

[Doppy]

@Giggiux I resolve. My problem is that I close the console with ctrl+z and I must close the console with ctrl+c. I think that the first doesn't close all ports of nodebb !
