If the server displays an error indicating that port 3000 is in use, how can I resolve this issue?

This page addresses a frequently asked question.

When you see an error stating port 3000 is already in use, it means another service is using that port or a previous BurpGPT session has not closed properly. To fix this, use the commands below to stop the current server before restarting BurpGPT:

Linux/Mac

1. First, identify the process ID (PID) using:

sudo lsof -t -i :3000

2. Then, forcefully terminate the process by executing:

kill -9 <PID>

Windows

Run the following command in PowerShell to terminate the process:

$processId = Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3000 | Select-Object -ExpandProperty OwningProcess
Get-Process -Id $processId | Stop-Process -Force
