I faced the same issue. You can resolve this by killing the process running on 5005 port.

Steps to kill the process:

WINDOWS

  1. find the PID number by running:

netstat -ano | findstr :5005

  1. Enter PID number below to kill the process

taskkill /PID 5005 /F

MAC

  1. kill $(lsof -t -i:5005)

Thanks. when i run this in command line --> netstat -ano | findstr :5005

C:\Users\mjeevaba>netstat -ano | findstr: 5005 ‘findstr:’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

also failed taskkill /PID 5005 /F

although i can find the PID for port 0.0.0.0:5005 by running netstat -ano it was some number like 32145 changed the command taskkill /PID 32145/F

the ask got killed. thanks for resolution but why findstr was not working?

Glad I was of help.

Maybe this command would work:

netstat -a -n -o | find "123456"

I do not have windows installed so I cannot check it.

thanks, it worked. Need to capture the PID and kill it! Usually its because multiple RASA servers are running.

Thank you. This helped me

Thanks a lots. It helped me.

Thank you!!!
