answer how to free port

Comment

Start terminal/powershell as an administrator and run:

$ netstat -ano | findstr :5432

(Replace :5432 port number with the one you want to free, e.g. :8080)

This way you can see if the port is busy:

TCP    0.0.0.0:5432           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       6740

The last number (here 6740) is the Process ID (PID). Use it to kill this process and free the port:

$ taskkill /PID 6740 /F

(Replace 6740 with PID from the command above)

The job is done. Continue coding like you've never been hurt before.
