-- `httpServer`:  The Node.js http server from the module `http`.
+- `httpServerOrPort`:  The Node.js http server from the module `http` **or** a port to run the reload websocket on (as a number). **Note**: It is important to specify a custom port if you have other websockets running in your application so they don't conflict.
 - `expressApp`:  The express app. It may work with other frameworks, or even with Connect. At this time, it's only been tested with Express.
 - `verbose`:     If set to true, will show logging on the server and client side
