Phusion passenger can't free port - ruby

Ok, i'm running passenger standalone, and made a dumb mistake, now I need help fixing.
So a test app directory was running standalone passenger on a specific port, and I deleted the directory so that I could pull a new app in place of it (and use the same port). Well, not thinking about passenger at all, I should have stopped the daemon first. Well, now the port is tied up somewhere, and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to stop it. I found the process that the port started on, and killed it, but to no avail. The address is still bound and unusable.
Short of restarting the server (not really a viable solution for me), how can I kill that nginx / passenger process all together so that I can start a new instance of passenger on that port?

Run lsof -i :portnumber e.g. lsof -i :3000
You will get something like this ...
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
Passenger 10514 USERNAME 5u IPv4 0xea95336b89bfa931 0t0 TCP *:hbci (LISTEN)
Passenger 10515 USERNAME 5u IPv4 0xea95336b89bfa931 0t0 TCP *:hbci (LISTEN)
Stop the processes using kill PID ... something like kill 10514

Passenger Standalone starts Nginx for you, and that is what is actually bound to the port. Because you deleted the directory, Passenger Standalone cannot access Nginx's lock file or PID file, and that's why upon killing Passenger Standalone it could cannot kill Nginx for you. You should kill Nginx manually.

What is the proper way to terminate the Vue CLI 3 development server?

I have just started to use Vue CLI 3 for a project and it looks like I am not terminating a development session correctly. Like the docs suggests I start a development session with:
npm run serve
Which gives me the port to work on:
App running at:
- Local: http://localhost:8087/
- Network: http://192.168.0.100:8087/
When I'm done working on my project I hit Ctrl-Z and I have my command line back. Yay!
But this leaves something still listening on the port:
lsof -i TCP:8087
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 58122 jannie 14u IPv4 0xc7ce0b7d644a357d 0t0 TCP *:8087 (LISTEN)
How can I terminate the development server gracefully so that it frees the port when I am done?
Try using Ctrl-C instead. It allows the application to gracefully shut down.

Killing an unknown self restarting server on port 80 Mac OSX

I have a server running on port 80, but I do not know what it is or where it came from. When I run
sudo lsof -i :80 | grep LISTEN
I get
httpd 80 root 5u IPv6 0x91f5a9de62859cfd 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
httpd 694 _www 5u IPv6 0x91f5a9de62859cfd 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
I have tried to enter get the process name using the PID, but all I ever get in return is "httpd" or "FOREGROUND".
When I kill the PID, the process simply restarts with a new PID. I assume I will have to stop it at launch.
How can I stop this server from running at startup?
If it helps any, I am trying to free up port 80 to use the apache server on MAMP.
This is just a guess, but it might be the built-in version of apache, being launched (& restarted) by launchd (OS X's daemon manager). It's disabled by default, but might've gotten enabled somehow. You can try disabling it with:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
If that doesn't do it (it'll say something like "Could not find specified service"), you can check to see if it's some other launch daemon item by looking for the PID of the master process (the one running as root, not _www):
sudo launchctl list | grep <masterPID>
That won't necessarily tell you exactly what's going on, but might point you in the right direction.
Like Gordon suggested, that's the built-in version of the Apache web server.
You can stop it with
sudo apachectl stop
btw, the configuration for this webserver can be found in the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf directory.
This happens to me a lot.
As #Gordon Davisson explains it is most likely the launchdeamon process conflicting with the service you have set up.
Definitely stop the apachetl server.
sudo apachetl -k stop
Try to find all the httpd process, they should be the last ones
sudo lsof -i :80 // without grep
Then get the first process (most likely in the 1000s) should also be the lowest one.
sudo kill <firstHttpdPID>
This should kill ALL the processes running that httpd instance and then you get simply start back up your server.
Must stop it first though or it will continue running again.
Mac OSX comes bundled with Apache, however it is deactivated. You might have activated it somehow. In my case, I have previously install XAMPP and configured something in the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf that leads my port localhost:80 to leads to html page with It Works!.
TLDR, the solution is to deactivate the Apache2 server.
Go to your terminal, and type this
sudo apachetl -k stop
In my case, it returns the following:
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using Shafies-MacBook-Pro.local. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
httpd (no pid file) not running
if you typed localhost on your browser, the port 80 is not active anymore and you will not see It Works! anymore.
For context, I have deleted XAMPP long time ago and not aware that my localhost:80 is still active. I am not able redirect dummy domain -- posts.com to my localhost port for my kubernetes YAML config files.
This is my ingress-srv.yaml file:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-srv
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: 'true'
spec:
rules:
- host: posts.com
http:
paths:
- path: /?(.*)
backend:
serviceName: client-srv
servicePort: 3000
and I have tricked the operating system to redirect my posts.com to localhost:80 by adding below line in the hosts file located at /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 posts.com

Valet (Laravel): DNS address can not be found

I'm trying out Valet, it looks really nice from what I've heard.
I've been trough the "whole" installation process, Valet is succesfully installed.
But when I cd into my projects file and enter valet park and browse to http://blog.dev, I get "The DNS server address of blog.dev can not be found."
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. :)
When you run valet install it attempts to install dnsmasq. It requires sudo privileges.
You can check that it's installed and running using
brew services list
You should see something like
dnsmasq started root /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist
You may however need to tap brew/services first
brew tap homebrew/services
If it's not there, run
brew install dnsmasq
brew services start dnsmasq
Run valet install again to set up dnsmasq and keep an eye out for any errors. What this should do is append a line to the bottom of /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf similar to
conf-file=/Users/{YOURUSER}/.valet/dnsmasq.conf
/Users/{YOURUSER}/.valet/dnsmasq.conf then should contain
address=/.dev/127.0.0.1
Check that your dns server is responding to requests
dig testing.dev #127.0.0.1
You should see a response like
;; ANSWER SECTION:
testing.dev. 0 IN A 127.0.0.1
To actually ensure that your Mac knows that it should resolve *.dev using your local DNS server, it need to be told to do so. Valet also handles this for you but you can check if it's done it's job by doing the following.
Inside the directory /etc/resolver, there should be a file entitled dev with the following contents
nameserver 127.0.0.1
This creates a custom DNS resolver for *.dev and points all requests at your local DNS server.
Restart dnsmasq with either of the following commands and then give it a try again.
// this
brew services restart dnsmasq
// or this
sudo launchctl stop homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq
sudo launchctl start homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq
If this is all working, you should be able to ping anything.dev
ping anything.dev
PING anything.dev (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.081 ms
That ensures the DNS related bits are working.
Ultimately the question is about DNS related problems but as this started off as a here's everything you need to have tried, I'll leave this below. That said, if you're unable to ping something.dev or get an error like "The DNS server address of blog.dev can not be found." as per the OP, it's something above to do with DNS which needs resolving.
Since Caddy serves websites on port 80, you need to ensure that nothing else is running on port 80.
sudo lsof -n -i:80 | grep LISTEN
Ideally this should return caddy if valet is running as expected. You want to see the example below or nothing ideally; nothing because it means we can just start Valet.
caddy 76234 root 3u IPv6 0x4f871f962e84fa95 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
You may see other webservers, such as Apache or Nginx (and their child processes, _www and nobody) in the example below.
httpd 79 root 4u IPv6 0xf4641199930063c5 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
httpd 239 _www 4u IPv6 0xf4641199930063c5 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
nginx 4837 root 6u IPv4 0xf4641199a4e8e915 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:http (LISTEN)
nginx 4838 nobody 6u IPv4 0xf4641199a4e8e915 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:http (LISTEN)
Assuming you've installed Nginx with homebrew you can run the following to stop it.
brew services stop nginx
OSX ships with Apache installed so you can stop with with the following if it's running.
sudo apachectl stop
At this point you can likely start Valet with valet start and it'll work.
You may get a further error which is caused by PHP being installed without FPM. You can check this using
brew info php70 | grep php70-fpm
Which should yield something along the lines of
The control script is located at /usr/local/opt/php70/sbin/php70-fpm
If it doesn't appear to be installed, use the following.
brew uninstall homebrew/php/php70
brew install homebrew/php/php70 --with-fpm
valet restart
I had the same problem - getting stuck at ping foobar.dev - and fixed it by restarting my Macbook (after valet install). I am sure this is not an exact solution and I reckon there is a way to do this without restarting. Yet, it worked for me. I did not have to do any other steps.
[Edit - Additionally, before restarting I made sure to try the installing with fpm tip, and to follow all brew's suggestions upon installing php70 (tweaking the path, making sure php70 starts on system start. I cannot say whether these things helped, so probably want to try just restarting, first. If it's really just a restart that's required, or some other additional step to properly start services, I think the laravel documentation probably needs some clarification.]
I had the same problem, post installation I got stuck at pinging foo.dev.
I checked for running services.
> brew services list
Name Status User Plist
dnsmasq stopped
nginx stopped
php71 stopped
Started all the three services manually with
> brew services start dnsmasq
> brew services start nginx
> brew services start php71
Ran valet install.
Ping successfully to foo.dev

Trying to kill process on port 8000 confusion

I am writing a Ruby script that deploys a server on port 8000 in the background, and then in the foreground I issue queries to the server. After I've issued my queries I kill the server, however when I kill the server, it seems to be switching ports.
I am doing it the following way in the ruby script:
To see PID that is running on port 8000:
lsof -i:8000 -t
Result:
RUNNING ON PORT 8000: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java 26364 user1 84u IPv6 199069 0t0 TCP *:8000 (LISTEN)
To kill the server I issue the command:
kill 26364
I then see if anything is running on port 8000:
# check if killed
lsof -i:8000 -t
Result:
RUNNING ON PORT 8000: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
ruby 25560 user1 58u IPv4 199123 0t0 TCP localhost:45789->localhost:8000 (ESTABLISHED)
java 26364 user1 84u IPv6 199069 0t0 TCP *:8000 (LISTEN)
java 26364 user1 85u IPv6 199124 0t0 TCP localhost:8000->localhost:45789 (ESTABLISHED)
I only want to kill the process that is listening on port 8000,
and keep my ruby script running.
Can someone please tell me what is going on? Why is it switching ports? How can I only kill my server port?
It doesn't look to me like it's switching ports; it's still listening on port 8000. It looks to me like two things are happening:
The java process (PID 26364) is catching or ignoring the kill signal (SIGTERM), and continuing to listen on port 8000.
A ruby process (PID 25560) is making a connection to localhost:8000 (from port 45789, which was probably dynamically allocated). That is, ruby is making a normal connection to the server on port 8000.
Note that the java process owns the port 8000 end of the localhost:8000<->localhost:45789 TCP session, and the ruby process owns the port 45789 end.
Whether the ruby process's connection is somehow a result of the kill signal, or just something it happened to do at about the same time, I couldn't tell you.

The port 80 in Mac is used

We have to use port 80 for our server. But when I was trying to use it in Mac, it always said that the 80 is used, but I don't know which program uses it.
I searched it in Google, and someone said it's about apache, but I tried, which is not working. I found this: https://gist.github.com/kujohn/7209628 , but seems it's not working visiting our server by IP address.
I really don't know what's going on and how can I find out which program using port 80 and stop it.
Many thanks if anyone can help, I'm new using Mac. Thanks.
To find out what process is using port 80
go to Applications
open utilities.
open Activity Monitor.
click on the Memory tab,
look at the ports and the processes using them. Find port 80 and select it
go to the view on the menu bar and choose Quit process.
This will just kill the process, it will not stop a server instance that is already running from continuing to run.
(Correction: the Ports column shows the number of open ports (and files?), not the port number)
It is not clear if you are using a database management system or not and which one but one method that has worked for me using MAMP is as follows.
stop the server by using sudo apachectl stop command.
then change the port to port 80.
then restart your servers.
type the following in Terminal
sudo lsof -i -n -P | grep TCP
you will get a list - e.g. dropbox listens on 80
you can copy the output to a text editor, etc to search
On Mac ports below 1024 can only be bound by the root user.
Try launching your server as root user (with sudo), or try to use a port above 1024.
You can also try to add root permissions to your user in /etc/sudoers
# root and users in group wheel can run anything on any machine as any user
root ALL = (ALL) ALL
%admin ALL = (ALL) ALL
your_user_here ALL = (ALL) ALL
I was having this issue, apache was disabled via launchctl, but was still tying up port 80 after launch, I could start up apache and it would work, but after unloading it, I couldn't start up anything on port 80. I was using the built in web server for Python as an easy test. It would work on port 81, but not on port 80.
sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80 -- wouldn't work
sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 81 -- would work
Here are the symptoms:
$ launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist: Could not find specified service
$ sudo lsof -i ':80'
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
Python 3353 root 3u IPv4 0xe455777a82799f05 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
The fix for me (after way too much searching) was simple:
sudo pfctl -F all
This flushed the packet filter, releasing port 80 (and others I assume 8080, 443, whatever ports apache might be tying up)
After that, and relaunching the python server, it came right up.
Might be Skype that is using port 80. If you have Skype installed and running try to change to a different port in the settings.
Port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 are classified as 'well-known' and port number 80 is reserved for HTTP. Typically you have servers listening on port 80 to handle HTTP requests.
