Tech Tip: Web server TCP port for server and client
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 11 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: December 17, 2010

Both of these settings are set in the Preferences dialog under the Web->configuration tab. If you open the Preferences on the server, you will be setting the Port only for the server. If you open the Preferences on the client, then you will be setting the Port for all the clients.
