In the Backend folder, I created a server.js file.

const express = require('express');
const cors = require('cors');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');

require('dotenv').config();

const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;

app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());

//connect with mongoDB
const uri = process.env.ATLAS_URI;
mongoose.connect(uri, { useNewUrlParser: true, useCreateIndex: true }
);
const connection = mongoose.connection;
connection.once('open', () => {
  console.log("MongoDB database connection established successfully");
})

//import routes
//const exercisesRouter = require('./routes/exercises');
//const usersRouter = require('./routes/users');

//use routes
//app.use('/exercises', exercisesRouter);
//app.use('/users', usersRouter);

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Server is running on port: ${port}`);
});

after I entered nodemon server command.

Here What printed in the terminel

Node.js v18.13.0 [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...


Currently, I do not have an idea regarding how to fix this. How to fix this?

  • port 5000 that you are using to run your express app is already occupied by other process in your system. Once try changing port number. Commented Feb 7, 2023 at 3:56
