This is probably a simple question but I can't find a clear answer anywhere. I am trying Hello World on node.js. I have a node.js server running on port 8000 of the localhost, turned on via the command line e.g. "node helloworld.js". Helloworld.js runs fine via localhost:8000. Now when I try turn on another server on port 8000 though I get the error "listen EADDRINUSE" because the first server is still running. So how do I turn off the first node server?
Just kill the process by doing ctrl-c...
Note: I just managed to turn off the helloworld.js listener using TCPView to end the process. However, it would be good to know if anyone has a cleaner solution using node itself. Thanks.
