Set the port number for Yellowfin to listen for web browser requests. By default, all web browsers send requests using port 80.

If there are no other web servers on the machine that Yellowfin is being installed on, you can accept the default port number of 8080.

If there are web servers installed on the machine that Yellowfin is being installed, there may be port clashes and Yellowfin will fail to function correctly. Therefore, the port number must not be in use by any other application on the machine. Port numbers like 8080, 8081 and so on are typically good candidate port numbers.
