EADDRINUSE port error
-
Hi,
Everytime my PI boots and it tries to start Magic Mirror V2.1.3 I get an error which google tells me is becuase the Port specified is in use. I changed this to port 8099 which was not in use and I get the same error. When i check to see what is using that port its Node.js.
Any suggestions?
Steve

The error:

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection? -
@screechyboy79 That is well-known bug. Sometimes, MM couldn’t be killed CLEARLY. In that case, just restart pm2 or npm.
Maybe at the next time, This error might appear again. However currently there is no perfect solution found. -
@Sean I’ve rebooted several times i have also as you suggested tried pm2/npm restarts which also doesnt have any effect. This isnt intermittent its every time I reboot
