This is a brand new deployment from the marketplace.
How do I clear this error?
Thanks!

Given that the Shadowsocks' service is configured and run for you, I'm thinking the likely cause here is that it was already running when you executed the ss-server command. Did you perhaps check if that was the case? You can verify it with the ss command as well as systemctl.
In case you'd like to see the defaults Shadowsocks is set up with, you can reference our docs on the Marketplace app:
