Is something else already listening on port 8200 on your machine? You can check this by running: ```auto sudo lsof -i :8200 ``` Shaunak ---

Try `sudo service apm-server stop` and then run the `sudo lsof -i :8200` command? Do you still see an `apm-server` process listening on 8200? ---

I faced the same issue when I stop the apm-server and run the sudo lsof -i :8200. No process is listening on 8200. Then why we are getting the error ? ---
