Port issue with Ollama server

Ask Fedora

Hello, when I try to run the ollama server I get this error:

davidct@fedora:~$ ollama serve
Error: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:11434: bind: address already in use

Any idea about how to fix it? I am on KDE Fedora 42.

Is ollama already running?
Is it installed as a systemd service for example?

You can see what os on a network port using the command

sudo ss -tapn

Look for the line about port 11434.

You were right! It seems to be already running:
