– https_ports = { }; – Remove this line to prevent listening on port 5284 <-- this comment is causing confusion.

It should say what it does if enabled, not this double negative.

–https_ports = { }; – uncomment this line to enable listening on port 5284

But more importantly, for those of us troubleshooting a gray screen with .js errors it means we just went on yet another snipe hunt.

@Blueshawk - Exactly. For people who are trying hard to troubleshoot an issue, such misleading errors just add to a lot of unnecessary work, which could be prevented by having misleading errors eradicated through properly documented configuration beforehand.
