hello,
my website needs to run a nodejs app that needs to listen on port 8080.
i am running on ubuntu 16.04 lts. i have used vestacp iptables gui to "accept" port 8080 and put 0.0.0.0/0 in the correct box.
i have executed the command for forever to run the app but i get an error.
seems like the port 8080 cannot be used by another service? someone mentioned that nginx uses port 8080?
how can i make my app that needs port 8080 run smoothly on vestacp?
i am newbie so please step by step instructions will be very appreciated.
thanks all for this great control panel. please help me make it work for my project.

8080 used by apache web server
You can run your app on other port?
