Hello! I am trying to run appwrite locally to test things out and i wanted to change the default ports. I have seen this post https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1331599755486167160 and this one https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1310356567027355698/1310894818964275260 and none of those options helped here.

At first I just ran the initial startup command from the Getting Started documentation and when it asked to input a port, i put it in the port i want to use and it proceeded with the installation. Once it was complete, i went to localhost:7800 and the console appeared, but when i try to sign up the account, i get a failed to fetch error.

I've attached screenshots of to show what I did, and the behavior im experiencing.

TL;DR
Changing the default port in Appwrite 1.7.x can cause issues. A developer ran into problems running Appwrite locally after changing the default port by inputting a port during initial setup. Signing up resulted in a 'failed to fetch' error. The provided Discord links did not offer a solution.
