@shadali What happens when you just hit **`Enter`** , without entering any vaule, to use the default?

And cross-check to ensure the port isn’t already in use

@shadali don’t add any spaces before entering the port. Also like @wodpachua told just press Enter if you want to use the default port(8080).
