Hmm... It looks like you are running something else in that port. May it be possible? I think you can check if the port is in use with $ lsof -i :5000

[mateusfg7]

nothing :(

[mateusfg7]

I used this other command, and was display this: apparently the port 5000 is being used but, i don't know why

can i change the used port? if yes, how?

[cosme12]

I though you could change port, but after testing apparently is not that simple. Will let you know if I make it work

[mateusfg7]

ok :smiley:
