# Bind: address already in use

This is the error you'll get when another application is already running on the same IP address you're trying to install the ESP platform on, most of the time this is the https port, which is 443. 

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint edcom-proxy (7ee39b6ffb050bf61aa2e132da7044e00836d87319ee60751b301f4a613d7132): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 1.2.3.4:443: bind: address already in use
```

{% endcode %}

If the ports the platform needs are blocked by another application, it will fail to start.
