A service is already running on that port. ---

What needs to be done in that case for bitbucket to be up and running? Can i change port ? Is there any standard procedure to overcome the current issue and kill running port ? ---

I don't know the tools you are using. `7993` is not a standard port for elasticsearch. > Can i change port ? In elasticsearch, yes with `transport.port: 9300` and `http.port: 9200`. But is it your question? > Is there any standard procedure to overcome the current issue and kill running port ? It depends on how you started elasticsearch. If you did that manually on the command line, then a `CTRL+C` would work. If you started it as a service, stop the service... Or kill the process. ---
