Answer 1

The solution I found a problem we face several times in Ubuntu.

*Failed to listen on 127.0.0.1:8000 (reason: Address already in use)*

What we do, we change the port, right?

This problem can be solved also in few seconds following below steps.
1. Open Terminal
2. **sudo su**
3. **netstat -plnt**
_find the process running on port 8080_
4. **kill -9 PROCESSNUMBER**
