configure_edison is a python script. You can see the path to the script using comment "which configure_edison". I took a quick look and it is not obvious how this is actually telling the server to run. The server appears to be a node application at this location: /usr/lib/edison_config_tools/edison-config-server.js. However, in this version of unix I am not sure how stuff gets started on boot. Until this gets answered the "right" way just go ahead move this file to something else or edit the last line to comment out listening to port 80
//http.createServer(requestHandler).listen(80);
