I can get the api to work on a different server

Every time I attempt to run the api.js on https://localhost:5000, I always get an error. I event attempted to run the api.js on the same server as the client folder and the api overwrote the entire website. By the way, I'm running the client folder on https://localhost:3000

My guess is port 5000 is already in-use. I can't be sure without seeing the error though and where it originated from.

My understanding is if you are using a Mac port 5000 is used for another process. There is a work-around for it but I don't know exactly what it is ;-). You can send a note to Treehouse support and they will guide you.
