I'm on windows. I was following this getting started https://expressjs.com/it/starter/hello-world.html It worked but at some point I unistalled a software on my pc that was running on port 3000 and now, also if I restart my pc, every time I execute that code I get EADDRINUSE error also if I change the port number to something arbitrary like 3039 or 4012. I used netstat but I didn't find any process at 127.0.0.1 (not 127.0.0.0 as I thought). I'm using git bash (mingw64) to execute node and scripts
Here what netstat says:
Update: I tried to reinstall the old program that was running on 127.0.0.1:3000 and it worked because it showed its interface. Then, unistalled this program and unistalled node.js. Then, reinstalled node.js and again, executing my server it says address in use. I also tried to create a new project in a different directory making npm init and then npm install express and again, executing that simple server, I got the same result. If I go to 127.0.0.1:3000 or 127.0.0.1:3001 (this last one is the port I used in this new project for the express getStarted server) I got connection refused and this ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. I don't know what to do now...
New update:
I looked in windows defender firewall app allowed to comunicate and I tried disabling and enabling private/public, noone, both with no luck...
new new update: I also refreshed my pc like explained here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-refresh-reset-or-restore-your-pc-51391d9a-eb0a-84a7-69e4-c2c1fbceb8dd and this problem is here yet. I will try now to reset deleting all files following the other guide at the same link.
New new new update: I made a complete new installation from bios using an external pendrive. I have no idea on how to resolve now... I’m desperate
