Question

Dhttp.port doesn’t work in Play Framework 2.0?

I tried to start the server on the 1234 port, as it is written in example.
https://github.com/playframework/Play20/wiki/ProductionConfiguration

So, i launch the play console and wrote the following command:

$ start -Dhttp.port=1234

Then i received the following response:

(Starting server. Type Ctrl+D to exit logs, the server will remain in background)

Play server process ID is 6507
[info] play - database [default] connected at jdbc:mysql://localhost/databasename
[info] play - Application started (Prod)
[info] play - Listening for HTTP on port 9000...

An application run on 9000 port. This is bug?

I know that i can use

$ start 1234

without http.port, but in this case i can’t specify http.address together with the port, as it is written in the documentation.

$ start 1234                                        (WORK)
$ start -Dhttp.address=127.0.0.1                    (WORK)
$ start -Dhttp.port=1234 -Dhttp.address=127.0.0.1   (DOESN'T WORK)
$ start 1234 -Dhttp.address=127.0.0.1               (DOESN'T WORK)

Does anyone know how to resolve this?
