How can I kill whatever process is using port 8080 so that I can vagrant up?

Question

On MacOSX, I\'m using Packer to build a Vagrant box so I need to continually bring it up and tear it down. I\'m attempting to \'vagrant up\', and receive the standard error

Answer 1

Run: nmap -p 8080 localhost (Install nmap with MacPorts or Homebrew if you don't have it on your system yet)

Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)

Host is up (0.00034s latency).

Other addresses for localhost (not scanned): ::1

PORT STATE SERVICE

8080/tcp open http-proxy

Run: ps -ef | grep http-proxy

UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD

640 99335 88310 0 12:26pm ttys002 0:00.01 grep http-proxy"

Run: ps -ef 640 (replace 501 with your UID)

Port 8080 on mac osx is used by something installed with XCode SDK
