Answer 1

Little late, but for any out there struggling, I came across this error by creating the React app without using sudo. Using sudo while running npx create-react-app app-name fixed the issue.

Answer 2

I had the same issue I ran killall node then npm start after that my local server at port 5000 worked again. Hope that helps you.

Answer 3

I was facing the same problem. I ran the following commands:

1. npm install
2. npm start

Then it worked at port 3000. Hope that helps you.

Answer 4

Make sure you've closed the previous node connection before opening a new one on the same port.

Just try to close the earlier connection first, and then open the new one!

Answer 5

For windows users, run command

Taskkill /IM node.exe /F

It works for me.
