I changed some lines in my config.groovy to this:
// set per-environment serverURL stem for creating absolute links
environments {
production {
grails.serverURL = "http://www.changeme.com"
}
development {
grails.serverURL = "http://localhost:8099/${appName}"
}
test {
grails.serverURL = "http://localhost:8080/${appName}"
}
}
But when I do run-app
it still gives me
Server running. Browse to http://localhost:8080/myProject
Is there somewhere I need to tell it to use config.groovy? Why won't it go on 8099?
By default grails run-app always runs on port 8080. The Config.groovy settings don't effect this. To change the port use the -Dserver.port setting on the run-app command. You can find out more about it in the documentation.
grails -Dserver.port=8099 run-app
That will start your application on port 8099. The Config.groovy values are used when creating absolute links.
As a follow up, you can change the default port. However, this modifies the default port for ALL of your Grails projects.
Edit the following line in $GRAILS_HOME/scripts/_GrailsSettings.groovy (approximately line 92):
serverPort = getPropertyValue("server.port", 8080).toInteger()
Another option would be to set the port for each of your applications. You can do this by adding the following setting to Build.config:
grails.server.port.http = 8081
