You were likely still listening on port 3000 with a different application. The error indicates that port 3000 is in use. Try listening on a different port

6,985 PointsThanks but Ive tried and unsure how to set it to the correct port, or how do I know Im setting it to a correct port to work. Ive noticed in the app.js file all the (req) are greyed out. Completely lost on this one :(
