We cannot change the application port from the avtivator but can change from the command line activator "~run 8080"

But to run on the poet 9000 from the activator we need to stop the application which is using this port. We can use the this application to find this and end the process https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx

After this we can run and it will be successful.

With the commit introduced today  Nov 25   you can now specify a port number right after the run or start sbt commands   For instance  play run 8080 or play start 8080  Play defaults to port 9000

On windows  I use a start bat file like this   java -Dhttp port 9001 -DapplyEvolutions default true -cp    lib     play core server NettyServer       The -DapplyEvolutions default true tells evolution to automatically apply evolutions without asking for confirmation  Use with caution on production environment  of course

Play 2 2 0 on Windows  Using a zip distribution  produced using the  dist  command   the only way I was able to change the startup port was by first setting JAVA OPTS and then launching the application   E g   from the command line  set JAVA OPTS -Dhttp port 9002 bin myapp bat   where myapp bat is the batch file created by the  dist  command   The following would always ignore my http port parameter and attempt to start on the default port  9000  bin myapp bat -Dhttp port 9002   However  I ve noticed that this works fine on Linux OSX  starting up on the requested port     bin myapp -Dhttp port 9002

I noticed no one has mentioned achieving this through environment variables  CI CD friendly   export PLAY HTTP PORT 1234 export PLAY HTTPS PORT 1235  Once set  Play will read from those environment variables to determine the port when doing sbt run  sbt start  or when running the executable for prod deployment  See the docs for more

Play 2 0-RC4  It is important to include quotes around the play command you want to run  In my case without the quotes play would still run on port 9000   play  run 8080    Alternatively you could run the following from the play console  type  play  to get to the console   run 8080
