On macOS Big Sur
and later, use this command:
sudo lsof -i -P | grep LISTEN
or to just see just IPv4:
sudo lsof -nP -i4TCP:$PORT | grep LISTEN
On older versions, use one of the following forms:
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:$PORT | grep LISTEN
sudo lsof -nP -i:$PORT | grep LISTEN
Substitute $PORT
with the port number or a comma-separated list of port numbers.
Prepend sudo
(followed by a space) if you need information on ports below #1024.
The -n
flag is for displaying IP addresses instead of host names. This makes the command execute much faster, because DNS lookups to get the host names can be slow (several seconds or a minute for many hosts).
The -P
flag is for displaying raw port numbers instead of resolved names like http
, ftp
or more esoteric service names like dpserve
, socalia
.
See the comments for more options.
For completeness, because frequently used together:
To kill the PID:
sudo kill -9 <PID>
# kill -9 60401

Some problem with Mac OS X Web preferences. I had to go and enable Web Sharing from preferences to make it work,
System Preferences->Sharing->Web Sharing and restart Apache
I think its got something to do with apache user not having permission to access my DocumentRoot, which is not entirely obvious from the error_log.
