Webpack: Change webpack-dev-server Port

**Problem: **I’m using webpack-dev-server to host my files locally. It’s defaulting to port 8080, but I want to use it on port  number 5000. How can I make webpack-dev-server serve files to ‘http://localhost:5000’?

**Solution: **To change the port webpack-dev-server serves on, use the –port flag.

For example, to have it serve on port 5000 run the following in your project directory:

webpack-dev-server –port 5000
