2. Introduction Enterpr ise This slide will represent the cause of the error “ [Errno 98] address already in use ” and the troubleshooting steps to resolve this error in Odoo.

3. Enterprise Cause Of The Error This error occurs when we try to start Odoo, but another process is already using the port that Odoo is configured to use. This can happen if we have another instance of Odoo running, or if another application is using the same port. We'll go through steps to identify the culprit process and free up the port so we can start Odoo successfully.

4. Enterprise Identifying the Running Process Open a terminal window. Run the following command: ps aux | grep odoo This command will list all processes that are running that contain the word "odoo" in their name. The PID (Process ID) is the number in the second column. We will need this number to stop the process.

5. Enterprise Stopping the Conflicting Process Use the following command to stop the process: kill <PID> Replace <PID> with the PID of the process that we identified in the previous step. Be careful when using the ‘kill’ command. It will immediately terminate the process without giving it a chance to clean up. If the process is a database server, this could lead to data corruption.

6. Enterprise Alternative: Changing the Odoo Port If we cannot stop the conflicting process, we can change the port that Odoo is using. The port number is typically defined in an Odoo configuration file. The location of this file will vary depending on our Odoo installation. Once we have found the configuration file, look for a line that defines the port number. This line will typically look something like this:

7. Enterprise A common port number for Odoo is 8069. If this port is already in use, we can try using a different port number, such as 8070 or 8071. Change the port number to a different unused port. Save the configuration file. Restart Odoo.
