How to change grails localhost port?

Question

I'm using grails 2.0.4. And I want to use port:8090 instead of 8080 for localhost. So need help to change the port to 8090 permanently.

Answer 1

This solution adds to the answers http://stackoverflow.com/a/10956283/122457. In Grails 2.x, add the following to BuildConfig.groovy:

grails.server.port.http = 8090 

See http://forum.springsource.org/archive/index.php/t-97024.html for further details.

Answer 2

There are two options:

1. Change grails.serverURL in Config.groovy from "http://localhost:8080/${appName}" to "http://localhost:8090/${appName}".
2. Launch grails with -Dgrails.server.port.http=8090 on the command line. Set the GRAILS_OPTS environment variable to -Dgrails.server.port.http=8090 to have it applied automatically.
