I've had this problem before and I had to contact the provider to get the app reset. If you have shell access you can apparently kill the running node processes and that will bring things back to normal. – Lumbricoid

Answer 1

Remove .lock file at source /home/<repo>/nodevenv/node/. Additionally, before executing npm install, you need to stop the application.

You need to access via terminal to kill the process.

I'm still trying to run a node.js application that not expose a web interface but works like a bot.

Answer 7

Copy this: nodevenv/public_html/

Visit your Cpanel > file manager > Then Paste it and Search for it

You will find all of your nodejs projects.

From there just open the nodejs app on which you are getting the error.

Simply, Delete the .lock file from there.
