Research direction
Locate the default port configuration in the source code, likely in a server setup file such as 'src/server.js' or 'config.js'. Search for the string '8080' to find where the port is hardcoded. Replace it with a random 5 digit port number (e.g., 42069) and ensure no other references to port 8080 need updating. Test the application to confirm the new port works and does not conflict with common services.
