I am keep facing the below error when running the node server, but the code used to work properly before. Could any expert to resolve the issue?

Below is the error part of server.js

    try {
        app.listen(port, function(){
            console.log('Server started on port'+port);
        })
    } catch (e) {
        console.log('There was an error', e);
    }

Another app is already using port 3000. You can start it with another port.

You app is working, maybe you just started it twice, you can try skill node & start it again, or change your variable port by 3001
