Always tells me RuntimeError: Port is not idle

[Jichen Li (Roy-Kid)]

Hi, when I run nni, it always tells me port is not idle. How can I fix this?

The nni is running locally on WSL2 and not behind proxy. I have tried many ports not none of them work. I think the firewall is not the issue because my proxy can redirect requests from WSL to windows. How can I fix the problem?

Run this nnictl stop --all first and then try.

Or try this pkill -f "<whatever port you used, usually it's 8080>"

Maybe you can check if you are running the correct command. I had configured 'experiment.config.trial_command' which called the file itself, hence the issue.
