Run Kestrel on bash on windows - linux

Question

I'm trying to run a simple web site on bash on windows (Windows Anniversary update bash) but I've been so far unsuccessfully.
I'm able to create and run console app, but whenever I type
dotnet run
on a web project, I get:
Unhandled Exception: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Error -98 EADDRINUSE address already in use) ---> Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Internal.Networking.UvException: Error -98 EADDRINUSE address already in use

at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.WebHostExtensions.Run(IWebHost host)
at WebApplication.Program.Main(String[] args)
Has anyone been successful in this? Am I asking too much of that "stripped-down-beta linux version"?
EDIT:
To reproduce the behavior, on a bash on windows prompt I type:
mkdir mytestwebsite
cd mytestwebsite
dotnet new -t web
dotnet restore
dotnet run
and then the problem appears.

Answer 1

The important part of that error message is this:
Error -98 EADDRINUSE address already in use
This is saying that something is already bound to the port you are trying to listen on. For example, if you are trying to run Kestrel and listen on port 80 (the default HTTP port) then Apache may also be already attached. You either need to shut down whatever is already listening on that port or change your app to pick a new port.
