This error didn't occurred until now. Whenever I run php artisan serve, It gives me 127.0.0.1:8000, it works a couple of minutes but after that the page just keeps loading until I restart the server and gives me an error Failed to listen on 127.0.0.1:8000 (reason: Address already in use) and gives me other port. Is there a way to trace what uses the default port?
you could use the netstat command to grep whether the port is in used and used by what service/process. Usually 8000 and above is not for system use hence most likely you have custom services listening on the port and not close it properly.
Anyhow, you may just ignore it and use other port number above 8000 instead
php artisan serve --port=8080
@SIANGBOON - I tried changing the port and the issue is still the same.
its probably conflicting with itself.
Remember that the php built in server can only run one request at a time and cannot listen for a new request until it has finished the last one. If you have any scheduler tasks, or are calling third party api then new web requests will be blocked until this has finished.
Better to use a proper web server
@Snapey Hi
I've this problem in my sever .. when I call another requests while there is a request running then the new requests is blocked!
is there anyway to make the new requests to wait and not getting blocked??
@Lama Youz they are waiting
best option is to use another type of web server
They aren't waiting .. all requests will fail with the error "Address already in use"
What do you mean by another type of web server?
@Lama Youz suggest you start your own question as this one is not related to your problem
@diegoaurino I'm using Manjaro OS. @snapey I'm using barryvdh/laravel-dompdf when that occurred.
@chron !
Try the following on your project root folder:
php -S localhost:8000 -t public/
Check: https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
If the command above works, chances are that the problem is in your artisan installation.
Also, check if ps aux | grep -i portand ps aux | grep -i artisan return something strange.
If the problem persists, I would suggest you delete and reinstall your vendors folder.
Let me know if it helps.
@DIEGOAURINO - I got this.
ps aux | grep -i port
chronic+ 15764 0.0 0.1 6276 2096 pts/4 S+ 18:20 0:00 grep --colour=auto -i port
ps aux | grep -i artisan
chronic+ 15750 7.0 2.0 97132 30300 pts/0 S+ 18:19 0:00 php artisan serve
chronic+ 15757 0.0 0.1 6276 2188 pts/4 S+ 18:19 0:00 grep --colour=auto -i artisan
ps aux | grep -i artisan shows that you have other artisan serve running. Kill the process 15750 to see if it is the origin of your problems. Have you tried to run the PHP built-in server?
@DIEGOAURINO - Yes. I tried it. Same problem. I terminated the artisan serve and the tab that runs php artisan serve said its terminated.
@CHRON - I believe now that the problem is in your environment. Also, check your firewall system to list all opened ports.
Are your iptables configured properly? Check ArchLinux docs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Firewalls
As @siangboon suggested, you can use netstat for that. Use the following to list all network ports:
netstat -lntu
@snapey suggested you use a web server. I would do the same. You can install a LAMP server on Manjaro with ease.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Web_applications
But none of these will work if your Firewall or MAC are not properly configured.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Security#Mandatory_access_control
@DIEGOAURINO - Aren't firewalls/MAC already configured on installation?
@CHRON - You need to check Manjaro documentation. I guess it comes with ufw and gufw by default. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uncomplicated_Firewall
Okay, apparently dompdf is the culprit. I noticed that when I visit a page that goes to print view, the error occurred but it stopped after I modified my code. Thanks for helping everyone!
dompdf perhaps requires a second thread and blocks for the reason I mentioned earlier
