Hi @Sukumar Ghorai ,

Well that pretty much explains it no? It seems the HTTP port is already being used on your laptop.

By default it uses 8080 so maybe you already have some other webserver installed?

I am not sure... 

What is the solution, any HTTP port as alternative is ok?

Pretty much yeah.

Try and avoid common ones and you'll be good. You'll just to connect to the instance on

But you can choose anything you want! (well within the range of ports) but maybe try like 8100 or something, that seems a not often used one
