 wait_for_free_port
    raise IOError("Port %r not free on %r" % (port, host))
IOError: Port 8080 not free on '0.0.0.0'

Answer 1

According to this page, quit() is not appropriate for this task.

Depending on how you run your server, you should consider using cherrypy.engine.exit:

>>> help(cherrypy.engine.exit)
exit(self) method of cherrypy.process.win32.Win32Bus instance
    Stop all services and prepare to exit the process.

Answer 2

Include this in your python file.

@cherrypy.expose

def shutdown(self):  
    cherrypy.engine.exit()

Then add a link on your page.
