not working at all

[gergokoos]

Hello,

I followed the instructions to install pm2, but it fails to do anything.

installation:
sudo npm install pm2 -g

trying to do something:
pm2 -V
{ online: true, success: true, pid: 17908 }

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: listen EADDRINUSE
at errnoException (net.js:901:11)
at Server._listen2 (net.js:1039:14)
at listen (net.js:1061:10)
at net.js:1135:9
at asyncCallback (dns.js:68:16)
at Object.onanswer as oncomplete

(at this point I have to press ctrl-c to exit)

node version:
node -v
v0.10.21

uname -a
Linux example.com 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Error: listen EADDRINUSE

You have an app listening to 6666 or 6667

[gergokoos]

so, if anyone encounter this problem again, here is how to fix it:
go to pm2 folder (in case of global install: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2)
edit constants.js where the port is, and be happy running it next to your irc server.
(as the comment says on top of the constants.js, it can broke the interface or something else)

Seeing this error as well. No idea how to fix it.

As a temporary workaround, set pm2's RCP ports to something else at runtime:

PM2_RPC_PORT=9666 PM2_PUB_PORT=9667 pm2 ...

After discussing this with @derek-watson it turns out that my ~/.pm2 folder had permission issues. I deleted the entire folder and was able to use pm2 again.
