Port 5000 Used by control-center in MacOS
Solution from here:
https://nono.ma/port-5000-used-by-control-center-in-macos-controlce
If port 5000 is being used, and you don't know why, it might be Control Center. Test it by doing:
lsof -i :5000 # prints out: ControlCe 514 username 16u IPv4 0xabcd 0t0 TCP *:commplex-main (LISTEN) ControlCe 514 username 17u IPv6 0xabcd 0t0 TCP *:commplex-main (LISTEN)
The process running on this port turns out to be an AirPlay server. You can deactivate it in System Preferences › Sharing, and unchecking AirPlay Receiver
to release port 5000
