The [[web server configuration parameter|WebServer Parameters]] ''port'' specifies the TCP port on which the server will listen for connections. The default value is `8080`.
The ''port'' parameter accepts two types of value:
* Numerical values are interpreted as a decimal port number
** The special value 0 (zero) causes the operating system to assign an available port
* Non-numeric values are interpreted as an environment variable from which the port should be read
This example configures the server to listen on port 8090:
```
tiddlywiki mywikifolder --listen port=8090
```
This example configures the server to listen on the port specified in the environment variable `THE_PORT`:
```
tiddlywiki mywikifolder --listen port=THE_PORT
```
