Is there a better way to change the default server port?

[Kshitij Kotasthane]

I recently started using django and because port 8000 on my PC was already occupied, I had to modify the runserver.py file directly to start on another port. By default, shouldn't there be an option in manage.py or settings.py to modify the port to start the test server on? Or am I missing something?

Because this is very inconvenient as well,

python manage.py runserver 5000

[Luciano Martins]

python manage.py runserver localhost:5000

[Kshitij Kotasthane]

Doing this every time I run the server is really inconveninent as I said above.

[Mike Dewhirst]

Because I develop on Windows and also hate typing I wrote a batch file
to launch manage.py with the correct settings.

I call it run-local.bat

It has a whole mess of vars at the top and I can edit those to make it
work for different projects. I also use it for most of the manage.py
commands like ...

run-local test
run-local coverage
run-local makemigrations

Depending on what I'm doing it uses different settings files. For
example, tests with SQLite versus PostgreSQL.

I even used it recently to run a series of psql commands to adjust the
database when retrofitting one project with a custom user. That was
delightful because I could repeatedly reload the production database
locally and eventually got the migration perfect prior to saving
run-local.bat as run-prd.bat changing the database setting vars and
migrating the production database. I was very pleased with that.

I also run Ubuntu machines and if I was developing on Linux or Mac I'm
sure I could build a run-local.sh script there.

If you (or anyone) would like a copy of my run-local.bat just ask

Cheers

Mike

If you could provide give a copy of the run-local.sh, that'd be great.

I don't have time to convert it into a bash script ... but you should be
able to pick a minimum section of it and get your own bash script going.
I started small and kept adding to it. Double-colon in a batch file is a
comment and a single colon starts a label. Set sets an environment
variable for the duration of the session. Here it is ...

Good luck
