Starting Webrick on a different port

Often you may need to start webrick on a different port. Luckily, you can do so using the -p options.

[root@srv31 ror]# ruby script/server -p 9191
=> Booting WEBrick...
=> Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:9191
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options
[2006-08-21 13:45:37] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2006-08-21 13:45:37] INFO  ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-linux]
[2006-08-21 13:45:37] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=4812 port=9191

For more help options use the --help option:

[root@srv31 ror]# ruby script/server --help
