An error like that means there is already a process running on that port, it might have crashed and may be dead thus it does not show up in your browser when you search it. You need to stop that process, here are several commands
if you are running linux then run several lines in your console
get all applications running on port [need their pid]
sudo lsof -w -n -i tcp:8888
kill applications running on port
sudo kill -9 pidnumber
If windows then just:
Find the pid for the dead process that particular port
netstat -a -o -n
to kill the process
taskkill /F /PID <pid>
