I am using laravel 5 for my project and everything has been working fine but recently I am facing this problem which I done understand.
devboy@devboy-hp ~/sonel_ims_project/ims_eneo $ php artisan serve Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/ [Fri Nov 13 12:00:56 2015] Failed to listen on localhost:8000 (reason: Address already in use)
I have tried devboy@devboy-hp ~ $ sudo netstat -plnt
and get
Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 192.168.122.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1840/dnsmasq tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1985/cupsd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7563/php-5.6.3 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1656/master tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6966/httpd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 740/smbd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6942 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7442/java tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6931/php-5.6.3 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6667 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1539/ircd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 740/smbd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:63342 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7442/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6966/httpd tcp6 0 0 :::21 :::* LISTEN 7337/proftpd: (acce tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN 1985/cupsd tcp6 0 0 :::3128 :::* LISTEN 1416/squid3 tcp6 0 0 :::25 :::* LISTEN 1656/master tcp6 0 0 :::445 :::* LISTEN 740/smbd tcp6 0 0 :::3306 :::* LISTEN 7343/mysqld tcp6 0 0 :::139 :::* LISTEN 740/smbd
Then I change port like so php artisan serve --port="8888"
but get similar error like below after a while:
Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8888/ [Fri Nov 13 12:01:02 2015] Failed to listen on localhost:8888 (reason: Address already in use)
The first time it happened, it was java using port 8000, so I killed the process and started the server and it worked. Upon stopping and restarting, I get the same error. What could be the problem (as I said everything has been working fine except now and I have not done any major update)?

Answer
This is exactly what I did for the problem.
- I exit PHPStorm
sudo netstat -plnt
kill 7563 (Process using port 8888)
kill 6931 (Process using port 8000)
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart
(Restart my server altogther)php artisan serve
- Launch PhpStorm
Now everything is working fine. What caused the problem anyway?
