1632314 - Ping server fails to start when running locally

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, defect, P3)

Description

[Ankita]

I was trying to run the telemetry tests locally but was getting this error below:
"error: [Errno 48] Address already in use"

I and Raphael, were trying to debug the issue and found out that it was just happening for my machine. He was able to run the tests locally with the same changes I made to the tests. We found out that the server is using port 8000 to run the tests, it was in the file :
mozilla-central/toolkit/components/telemetry/tests/marionette/harness/telemetry_harness/runner.py

I changed the port number and then was able to run the tests successfully. But while debugging I found out there wasn't anything else running on port 8000 to cause this issue. I am still unable to run the tests locally on 8000.
