Address already in use - FastAPI
Oct 29
I keep getting [Errno 98] Address already in use But the address is not in use.
I tried to change the ip and port but It isn't budging.
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/")
async def main():
return {"message": "Helloworld,FastAPI"}
if __name__ == '__main__':
import uvicorn
uvicorn.run(app, host="127.0.0.1", port=8000)
uvicorn main:app --reload
also tried uvicorn main:app --host=172.0.0.2 --port=5000
then it gives [Errno 99] error while attempting to bind on address ('172.0.0.2', 5000): cannot assign requested address
I tried running a flask dev server and it was also running on 172.0.0.1 without a problem?
using Arch-Manjaro-Linux
I used nmap to see what the fuss was about.
But only 2 ports in use on the 127.0.0.1 IP
PORT STATE SERVICE
631/tcp open ipp
8000/tcp open http-alt
I would use another IP and port but it gives an error that it can't be assigned.

Basically, you can do this. This will kill the process that listens TCP connections on port 8000
sudo lsof -t -i tcp:8000 | xargs kill -9
