node server address in use error resolution for Windows and Linux machines

Hi friends,

Today, I have come across a situation, where my node server existed unproperly and address has been blocked. Because of which, I am unable to run the node server on the same port.

System configuration

Running my node server on port 3000.

Resolution

Windows Machine

We will first try to find whether the port has been still in listening mode.
> netstat -ano | find "LISTENING" | find "3000"
When the above command returns result then take the last number (Process ID)
We will kill the process with the following command.
> taskkill /f /pid

Linux Machine

> netstat -nlp | grep :3000
> kill -9

Now, you will be able to run the node server on the same port which has been blocked.

Hi Friends,

I was having an issue when connected my friend's Micromax Doodle to my Ubuntu with the following error
"insufficient permissions for device"

Resolution

1. Open Terminal
2. Kill the server by typing the following command
• $ adb kill-server
3. Now, start the server
• $ adb start-server
4. On your device, a pop-up might come asking for granting the permission
5. Click on "Yes" for approving the access
6. Now, check your device status with the following command
• adb devices
7. With the above command, you should be able to see devive IMEI and device name

Enjoy the Ubuntu and Android combination :)
