How to run meteor server on a different ip address?

Question

How can i start meteor server on a different IP address? Currently in the examples am only able to run on a localhost:3000 address.

Answer 1

export BIND_IP no longer works, bind IP is defined with --port (or -p or --app-port) option(s):

$ meteor run --port 127.0.0.1:3000

Answer 2

If you are looking to run something on another IP address (but still have the files local) you need to look into editing your vhosts file. If you are on a mac, look into Virtual Host X

The proper way to change ports with meteor is this:

meteorapp : meteor --port 5000
