Installation problem

[miketaochina]

Hi, I use a Mac, OSX 10.14.6 (18G87)
when I installed code-server, after I got 2 'info', I got this error message: 'error listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 127.0.0.1:8080' message...what I can do?
and when I go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/login, it says 'Check the config file at ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml for the password.', but I do not find it, or I do not know how to find it, could you please help?

Many thanks.

The error means that you have something else already running that is using port 8080, and since you're able to find the code server /login page, I'm assuming that's code-server.

To find the file, try opening Terminal and running cat ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml - that should work, though I'm not too familiar with macOS.

Hi,

I tried cat ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml and it works! Thanks a lot!
