I'm using Ansible to automatically install Grafana, Promethus and Node exporter. Everything else works well, but I'm having issues starting the Grafana server. So I tried to SSH into the server and run sudo grafana-server --config grafana.ini --homepath "/usr/share/grafana". My HTTP options for Grafana is this:
# HTTP options
[server]
http_addr = 0.0.0.0
http_port = 1339
domain = ansiblevirtualbox
root_url = http://0.0.0.0:1337
cert_key =
enforce_domain = False
protocol = http
socket =
enable_gzip = False
cert_file =
static_root_path = public
router_logging = False
As you see, I'm currently using port 1339. Which gives me the error address already in use. I can change to port 3000, 1337 etc. I always get that error.
Here below is the log for the recent try to start the server.

What could be the issue? If I run netstat -tulpn, it doesn't say anything about listening to the ports I have been using. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04
Run netstat with sudo.
You can also try to sudo lsof -ti:1339 to see which process uses that port.
You can kill it with sudo lsof -ti:1339 | xargs kill -9.
Also, try to run it with only: grafana-server -homepath /usr/share/grafana
