App starts on incorrect port

[donalmurtagh]

According to the README.md in each project, the app should start on port 3000 when you run npm start, but it actually starts on port 8080.

hi @donalmurtagh
you are right, webpack-dev-server is configured by default to listen for connections from localhost on port 8080 (it used to be 3000 - before ejecting from Create React App's build scripts)

[donalmurtagh]

@xidedix either the docs or the dev server config should be changed to make them consistent

@donalmurtagh
on v2 we are back to default port 3000 with not ejected create-react-app

I'm closing this since it appears to be answered above.
