Hi there.  
I got a problem with Nodered. Til 7 days ago everything works good. I installed Grafana on the same Pi and all good. Since yesterday Nodered is dead. I tried to reboot the pi, to stop the service and restart it. I stopped Grafana.service too but nothing.  
Nodered is not starting but in background my flows are working but from my browser I can't reach my instance.

This is what happening when I type `node-red`

What I see is the `[error] Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 0.0.0.0:1880` but I can't figure it out how to fix it and if is this the problem that won't permit to open Nodered on my browser.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

Thanks,  
Mattia

This problem usually indicates that node-red is already running and thus port 1880 is already in use.

Check the pi's IP address.

Try sudo systemctl restart nodered

I did right now but nothing as changed.  
The IP is still the same and I'm connected via SSH and it is connected the PI.

What I get with `node-red` is still the same.  
I tried even to use the command `sudo systemctl status nodered` and what I get is this:

Nodered in background still working and for example via Openhab I can turn the light on and off but I can't access to the graphical typing on the browser `my-ip:1880`

I don't know if openhab makes a difference to running node-red because I don't use it.

Can you access the NR editor from a different computer? A different browser?  
Try clearing your browser cookies.

ps. Obviously you know that it's the Pi's IP not your PC's in "my-ip:1880"

I tried to open it from a different browser but nothing changed, still not opening the web interface in the meanwhile in background everything works.

On the Pi I installed a Raspbian lite and on it I installed Openhab, Nodered, Mosquitto and Grafana. So Nodered it doesn't work only for Openhab. They are different software over a same machine.

Of course I'm using the Pi's IP.  
I can't understand what's going on and still facing this problem
