Error port is already in use of Django Server

Question

Restarting the Django server displays the following error:

this port is already running....

This problem occurs specifically on Ubuntu and not other operating systems. How can I free up the port to restart the server?

Hii @kartik,

Just type sudo fuser -k 8000/tcp. This should kill all the processes associated with port 8000.

and

For osx users you can use sudo lsof -t -i tcp:8000 | xargs kill -9

Hope this work!!

Thank You!!
