Cannot run styleguidist along side with laravel development server

Question

I am trying to document my React Components and I am running styleguidist server along side with Laravel development server but the styleguidist server crashes with this error.

You have another server running at port 6060 somewhere, shut it down first

You can change the port using the `serverPort` option in your style guide config:
https://react-styleguidist.js.org/docs/configuration.html

I have configured the styleguidist server to run at port 6060 as to resolve this issue and succeeded to run the server only once. After that I am getting this issue again.

How can i resolve this??

Answer 1

The error is saying you have something else running at that port. Have you tried a different one? If you are running a UNIX system, you can see what is running on that port with:

lsof -i tcp:6060
