Starting AEM on port 6000

Agree with Edubey,

Tested on Mac, application registers with the Network card as it should:

192:author puzanov$ sudo lsof -i :6000 # checks port 6000
COMMAND   PID    USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java    17925 puzanov  490u  IPv6 0x76ace7b77e8108e5      0t0  TCP *:6000 (LISTEN)

Log's also indicate no problem registering to this port.

The problem seems to be with Browsers themselves as Firefox tells us:

This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.

This stackoverflow thread covers port 6000[0][1]

Here is snippet from docs:

The default port for AEM is 4502. If that port is not available or already in use, Quickstart automatically configures itself to use the first available port number as follows: 4502, 8080, 8081, 8082, 8083, 8084, 8085, 8888, 9362, <random>
