I tried my first upgrade today, to 1.11.0. I run
$ git fetch # Grab the latest code from the NodeBB Repository
$ git checkout v0.4.x # Type this as-is! Not v0.4.2 or v0.4.3, but "v0.4.x"!
$ git merge origin/v0.4.x
but when starting up it stops after a short while and the log gives:
2018-12-05T12:35:30.710Z [19247] - error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 0.0.0.0:4567

3 restarts in 10 seconds, most likely an error on startup. Halting.
What setting has changed to give this?
Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 0.0.0.0:4567
NodeBB is on version 1.1.0 so the command should use v1.1.x.
That error means something is already running on that port, try stopping nodebb with ./nodebb stop and start again.
Hi, Thank you, you are on the right track. I kept on searching and found a solution. Old processes where running so I had to kill them. Restart did not help.
EADDRINUSE means that you already have NodeBB running. Use ps utility to find and kill it.
Then
ps aux|grep nodebb, then note the process Id and use kill -9 <said id>
There were many prcesses running, so I found it easier just to restart the server. Now all is fine.
Thank you anyhow.

1.11.0 worked fine for me.
