Error: port already in use error

I am trying to create and run a Django admin link,by running 'python manage.py runserver' code but it keeps throwing Error: port already in use. I tried ctrl+pause (windows machine) and doing ps aux returns error do this mount -t proc proc /proc. Can someone please help me with either a) command which stops the server and restart it or b) how can I mount ?

Thanks

Hi there, you should use the "Web" tab to set up your web app and be able to view it on PythonAnywhere -- runserver won't work because it's running on one of our console servers, and they don't have any ports open to the internet.
