    Port 4038 is an unassigned port in /etc/services so you'll need to
    find out what application got it opened. You'll need to stop the app
    to free the port. If you don't know which app, try "ps -ef" and go through
    the list.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know /etc/services has this port as unasigned.
    I decided to use lsof -i |grep on 4038 to see the open processes. Then will proceed as you stated, and have developer kill off the processes. Thanks
