Rails webrick production port number

Question

How can I permanently change my application port number in production?

I know I can specify the port number when starting the server rails s -p 3005 , but was wondering how to change it so that I dont have to specifiy the port number everytime I start up the app.

Answer 1

Don't use webrick in production.

It is only optimized for development purposes. Use something like thin , unicorn or passenger for example. You can find capistrano recipes to start or restart web servers when deploying the app.

Answer 2

This seems to answer your question even though the question references running in development. I tend to agree with modifying the config/boot.rb as per .

But, iltempo is correct that you should be using a different stack in production. I've had good luck with Passenger.
