EADDRINUSE on any port.

Hi

I am running a instance of alexa-app-server but I get EADDRINUSE on every port I choose. I completely restarted macos and did netstat and lsof on those ports and nothing is using them.

listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080 events.js:141 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Installing alexa from npm it installed globally, even without npm -g. Nothing was on the current directory so I had to git clone to get all the project files. If I uninstall from the global node repository packages, and run npm install from package.json then it says it can't find the necessary alexa-app-server.

I did even try to run as sudo and set debug option to true, but nothing helped.

I am closing this. I was confused with the example documentation and I was trying to open up the server twice.

Actually, I've had the exact same problem and this was the only working solution. Had not realized either that I was calling start twice somehow. Thank you!
