Hey @Saurbh060, Seems you’re using used port try different port like this

> rasa run -p #PORT\_NUMBER

and don’t forget to change your endpoints for your new port configuration.

Hello @Saurbh060, Rasa uses localhost port 5005 by default, but you’re already using it with something else. Try running something like: `rasa run actions & rasa shell -p 5050`
