I have tried a lot of processes, like: kill -9 3752807(PID)(response: bash: kill: (3752807) - No such process, killall server (server: no process found), sudo killall apache2 (apache2: no process found), ps -ef |grep server, to remedy the situation, but, all to no avail! I'm stuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a hint from the pset7 spec FAQs

OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use

If, upon running flask, you see this error, odds are you (still) have flask running in another tab. Be sure to kill that other process, as with ctrl-c, before starting flask again. If you haven’t any such other tab, execute fuser -k 8080/tcp to kill any processes that are (still) listening on TCP port 8080.

If that doesn't help, restart your workspace (it's an option in the CS50 tab).
