PSET6: Port 8080 already in use?

Question

I've tried using apache50 stop + changing the port and I can't get the webserver to run on my machine, instead I get the error:

~/workspace/pset6 $ ~cs50/pset6/server 8081 public Stopping server

~/workspace/pset6 $ ~cs50/pset6/server 8080 public Stopping server

~/workspace/pset6 $ ~cs50/pset6/server public

Using /home/ubuntu/workspace/pset6/public for server's root

Port 8080 already in use Stopping server

Instead it appears that my full workspace (not just pset6) is hosted on https://ide50-username.cs50.io/

This may have to do with the Cloud9 IDE update -- is there any way to fix?

Have you tried to kill the server process before trying those commands?

killall server

Also you can kill the apache process, if it's running:

sudo killall apache2

killall server did nothing. I mention I'd tried apache50 stop; it says its stopping the server but then doesn't do anything / let me run the code as suggested in the PSET

You're right, I missed that part where you explain you tried the stop command. I'm sorry! You can also try to kill the apache process with sudo killall apache2
