Why Symfony start server on random port (all except 8000)? WSL2 Ubuntu-20.04

I run symfony serve, Symfony tell me that started server on http://127.0.0.1:8000, but this port not work (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED).

But on terminal below Symfony say: [Web Server ] May 7 18:31:38 |INFO | PHP listening path="/usr/bin/php7.4" php="7.4.3" port=35823 and adress http://127.0.0.1:35823 is working.

The port is always different every symfony serve run.

terminal screenshot

Info about enviroments:

PHP 7.4.3 (cli) (built: Mar 2 2022 15:36:52) ( NTS )

Symfony CLI version 5.4.8

Composer version 2.3.5

Server version: Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)

I have this problem aswell with using wsl on Windows. I haven't really found a solution to this, but instead of using 127.0.0.1:8000 you can use localhost:8000. This is because wsl has its own ip. You can check it using ifconfig. Because of that it doesn't know 127.0.0.1. So hosting something from wsl to Windows, always goes trough localhost.

This doesn't fix the problem that it starts a second server on a random port. I dont really know why it does this for me aswell. My guess is that it has to do something with how wsl and Windows communicate, since i dont have this problem with Mac.

I have the same issue. But even if I try to serve on another port (for example symfony serve --port=55588), it will still serve on another random port that's different every time...

My example

In this example, 127.0.0.1:55588 doesn't work, but 127.0.0.1:42311 works.

Because port 8000 is already used by another service you can check by this all ports by this commande

sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN

Or only port 8000

lsof -i :8000
