Are you using Windows?

I’m guessing something else is already using port 8080. You could try changing port 8080 in the IPFS config to something else that you’re sure isn’t already in use on your machine.

You must change the Addresses.Gateway key in the config.

Change the port, yours is likely /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/8080 currently, changing the 8080 past tcp will change the port, example /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/8081.

You should find the config at ~/.ipfs/config (on linux, no idea for windows).
