Port already in use

#1

Hi,

I am just starting to learn about IPFS. Was trying to rum ipfs daemon command and it is saying port 8080 already in use.

Please help in which property/config while I canchange this 8080 port to any other port.

Thanks

Similar problem was discussed at here.

If you want to change IPFS gateway port from 8080 to something else (8081), you can do it via:

ipfs config Addresses.Gateway /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8081

+ daemon restart.
