Answer 1

Another server is running on same port 8080, so you need to kill and start your instance.

find running instance

$ netstat -nlp | grep 8080

(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp6       0      0 :::8881                 :::*                    LISTEN      28207/node    

kill existing server instance using pid

$ kill -9 28207

start instance

$ node server.js
