http.listen(server_port, server_ip_address, function () {
  console.log( "Listening on " + server_ip_address + ", port " + server_port );
});

Try this (considering from the snapshot you are on Windows),

netstat -anbo

This will show you all the ports currently in use on your system along with the executable and the process ID which has acquired that socket. Now simply check if your port 8080 is occupied by that process and kill it.
