Cloned a project that I pleted 2 months ago, and unfortunately, nodemon won't run. I've tried using task manager on windows to close npm and run it again and I still keep getting the same error. I'm also using monogodb as my database as well if that helps.

I've left a link here to my repository if anybody can help?

Error:

You need to kill the node server process

in Windows, go to task manager and end the process.

Now run the node server: example- “nodemon server.js”

in most cases, it should work else try “npm install” to re-install the packages then try “nodemon server.js”.

I hope this would help.

uninstall and install again works for me

npm un nodemon
npm i nodemon

Reasons & Solutions:

First:

Maybe your PC running several processes in the Background. So you need to stop all the node process that are running.

Quick trick:

Kill them all by running this on terminal :

pkill -f node

or to kill a particular port instead of all

sudo lsof -i :3000//replace 3000 with your port number

sudo kill -9 31363// replace 31363 with your PID

and then restart nodemon.

Second:

Server.js and package.json are not in the same folder.

check package.json File.

And In MAIN YourNode.js file and SCRIPT start: nodemon YourNode.js has SAME NAME.
