 **Keep Config files: TBD**
-**Web Server Port:** This specifies on which LAN port Web content will be served. Traditionally, the default HTTP port is port 80. However, a conflict might occur if the httpd Web server were configured to use the same port ([[admin_access|Admin Access]]). Consequently, a decision was made to make port 85 the default for Nginx.
