Save port in settings

[MarioFritsche]

Hello, in the settings I created the port 8888: "fiveServer.port": 8888, But this port is not used, instead a new port is always generated when starting the server.

A new random port is generated if the chosen port is already in use. Is there already something running on port 8888?

[MarioFritsche]

Yes, I have MAMP (https://www.mamp.info/de/mamp-pro) running as a server and there the port 8888 is occupied.

Ok. So now just change the five server's port to something else than 8888, and it will work.

Ok, sobald ich aber eine mysql Datenbank laufen habe, wird mir die Seite aber nicht mehr angezeigt, kann sie nur über post 8888 bearbeiten

You could try to use the five-server proxy. Simply add a config file and use the npm version of five-server:

// fiveserver.config.js
module.exports = {
  port: 5500,
  proxy: { '/': 'http://localhost:8888/' }
}

Then do npx five-server . in your console.

Without success... :-(
