Play FAQ: How do I run the Play Framework web server on a different port than the default port (9000)?
Solution: With Play 2.8.x, use this sbt
command from your operating system command line:
$ sbt "run 8080"
Or use this command from inside the sbt
shell:
[play01] $ run 8080
In both cases you’ll see output like this:
--- (Running the application, auto-reloading is enabled) --- [info] p.c.s.AkkaHttpServer - Listening for HTTP on /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:8080 (Server started, use Enter to stop and go back to the console...)
