Describe the solution you'd like

1. Update the envFiles/* files, replacing port 8080 with port 4000 to make the app compatible with Talawa-Admin's defaults

@xoldd FYI

[xoldd]

This is not documented in the INSTALLATION.md file

The environment variables are documented here in this file because talawa api docusaurus docs weren't meant to be touched right now as you had suggested: https://github.com/PalisadoesFoundation/talawa-api/blob/develop-postgres/documentation/environment_variables.md

But yeah, the default port used by talawa api should be documented in INSTALLATION.md file.

Talawa-Admin expects the API to be listening on port 4000. The current configuration is 8080

Port 8080 is used because it is one of the standard secondary ports used for http(standard primary port being port 80): https://www.speedguide.net/port.php?port=8080

Update the envFiles/* files, replacing port 8080 with port 4000 to make the app compatible with Talawa-Admin's defaults

Just updating the default value for port from 4000 to 8080 on talawa admin would fix it as well. Api is designed with sane, standard defaults so not sure why changes to it are needed to fix non standard client behavior.

[palisadoes]

We changed the port to 4000 because we used to have developers running multiple apps on default ports and asking us why things fail

[xoldd]

@palisadoes If developers have default ports used by talawa applications acquired by other unrelated applications they need to use custom values for the talawa application ports in the .env files. This isn't exclusive to port 8080 and using port 4000 isn't any different.

[palisadoes]

1. It also means we have an application specific port for all future versions.
2. Less things to explain to the Admin developers too. It gets very busy.
