The "java.net.BindException: Address already in use" part means either there's a previous instance of Spark web still running or another program is running a server on the same port. You can check for console tabs in IntelliJ and stop/close them and retry. If all else fails you can reboot the computer and try again.

Rebooting the computer, as Seth Kroger suggested, worked for me.
