HerdHelper installed but cannot be reached on Windows (port issue 5022)

HerdHelper

I am using the Herd application on Windows computer for working multiple php version applications and I’m having trouble every time with the HerdHelper service when i stop and start the services.

When I open the Herd app I see this error:

The HerdHelper is installed, but can not be reached. Please try changing the port – this requires admin access. If the error persists, please take a look at the troubleshooting docs.

What I tried so far

  • Restarting Herd
  • Restarting Windows
  • Changing the port in the Herd settings (still no luck)
  • Running Herd as Administrator

How can I fix this error so that HerdHelper runs correctly and connects to the Herd app?
Is there a specific port conflict or Windows service permission I should check?
