Oh buddy, it looks like you’ve parked your car in someone else’s garage. That “eaddrinuse” warning? It’s Node.js’s friendly way of saying, “Hey, this address is already in use, friend. You can’t setup your server here.” So, you got to either change the port or make sure that no other process is hogging it up. Happy programming!
The “eaddrinuse” error in Node.js means that the port number which you’re trying to use for your server is already in use by another service. You need to use a different port number or stop the service that’s currently using the port you want.
