Just port 8080 is already busy on your machine.

[tejumia]

i try to turn off it. But it not work

[bcoles]

lsof -i :8080

Or restart msfconsole if Ruby is holding on to the port.

[hdawg12]

how do you restart ruby, i'm using armitage and I have same issue

[wvu-r7]

Try exiting Armitage. There may be an RPC daemon running, though. I would look through your process list and kill any relevant Ruby processes by hand to be sure. If all else fails, reboot.

[hdawg12]

Restarting works, but I don't want to restart everytime, you know what I mean? I know that it has to do with the port being taken but how do I close that port so I can open port 4444 again. Or in your case, how would I kill any Ruby process by hand? I tried command "lsof -t -i:4444", but that didn't work.

@hdawg12 To see services running on port 4444, run:

lsof -i :4444

To learn more about lsof, run man lsof

To kill a process by process ID, run:

kill -9 PID

To learn more about kill, run man kill

To stop running jobs in Metasploit, use jobs -k <job id>

To learn more about the jobs command, use jobs -h

For anything related to Armitage, ask the Armitage team.
