Hi,
I’ve been using Solr for a while now. I’m having trouble using the software 
currently: I’m getting this error "Oops! Looks like port 8983 is already being 
used by another process. Please choose a different port”.
I’m using Mac OS. When this happened sometimes ago in the Fall or so, I used 
lsof -n -i4TCP: 8983 to identify the PID, then, killed the PID number.

But, since yesterday, I’ve been receiving this error whenever I used lsof -n 
-i4TCP: 8983

lsof: unacceptable port specification in: -i 4TCP:
lsof 4.89

Use the ``-h'' option to get more help information.


Kindly help with how to handle the error messages, especially this: r "Oops! 
Looks like port 8983 is already being used by another process. Please choose a 
different port”.

Thanks!

Mary
