Jira overriding Live-Server on http://127.0.0.1:8080

Question

Hello,
Last month, I had installed Live-Server 1.2.0 from Cmder and it had been using http://127.0.0.1:8080 to render JS output (I'm taking a JS class online). I installed Jira Core and Jira last week and now when I attempt to run a live-server command from Cmder, I get an error: 'Error: listen EACCESS 0.0.0.0:8080.' When I open my Chrome or Firefox browsers and  type http://127.0.0.1:8080, I am taken to the Jira Core logon page. Is there a way to change the configuration after the fact? Will Jira installations always take this address?

I uninstalled and reinstalled live-server and still have the same error.

I'm moderately technical, but new to JS, Jira, HTML, etc....

Thank you!

Hi Jeff,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Yes, the default port can be changed after the install, either by using the Jira Configuration Tool or by editing the server.xml. Take a look at Changing Jira application TCP ports for more information.

Hi @Jeff White,

no worries, it's pretty simple to change Jira configuration port listening, you just need to edit the server.xml file in your <installation-dir/conf/>, as described here.

You can change 8080 to any port that is free, something like 9090 for instance.

Let me know if you have any questions,
