[one-users] Strange behavior of ONE + EC2 API when using port forwaring

Hello,

The problem is that every configuration value in the conf file is a
string and the code breaks because you are providing a number in that
variable, modify the line you have changed to:

@server_port="8188"

The proper way would be adding a port variable like SSL_SERVER but we
don't have that right now.

Starting the server changing the PORT in configuration file should
work, maybe you have some other daemon listening in that port, can you
verify that?

Bye
