edX LMS port 8000 already in use (even after killing processes)

Question

I got the following issue when I try to run my edX LMS (port 8000):

Error: That port is already in use

enter image description here

So in my vagrant account I found and did kill -9 on process which was using 8000. But as soon as I killed them, the process was automatically restarting and using port 8000 and I am unable to run LMS.

No it didn't. Tried that. Process still automatically restarts. — Dhananjay Ambekar, Sep 15 '14 at 22:07
this just worked.! thanks a lot to the good guys at edx groups. sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl -c /edx/etc/supervisord.conf stop edxapp:lms — Dhananjay Ambekar, Sep 15 '14 at 22:13

When that happens, I just do:

vagrant reload

(You will have to logout from SSH before by typing logout)

It is equivalent to:

vagrant halt
vagrant up

I've encountered issues in the past where 'vagrant halt' has *not* cleared the port, just as an FYI. 'vagrant reload' has simply given a port in use error. YMMV. – FlipperPA May 30 '15 at 20:36

I've had times on OS/X with Vagrant where I've had to kill not only the vagrant process, but also virtualbox, when vagrant reload hasn't worked.

On your machine (not the guest VM):

ps -eaf | fgrep -i vagrant
ps -eaf | fgrep -i virtualbox

Then kill all those processes and "vagrant up."

vagrant halt is enough to kill all the processes related to the used port.
