Then you need to identify the web server process/thread that has client_port open and fix the problem there. If you get that process to close the transaction or terminate, your problem is solved. You can also terminate a database session from the server with the pg_terminate_backend function. The interesting thing to know would be where in your web application a transaction got left open, so that it does not happen again.
