aws-vault error Failed to start credential server listen tcp 127 0 0 1 9099 bind address already in use

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to run aws-vault command in AWS CLI. But it is showing me the below error.

aws-vault: error: Failed to start credential server: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:9099: bind: address already in use

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

This is usually caused by another geodesic shell running. This happens because the aws-vault server can only be run once. Try exiting your other geodesic shell.

I hope this will solve your doubt.
