how to change the port exactly?

[morenoh149]

I want to change the ports used. What do I run exactly?

I tried

python manage.py livereload --port 9090

python manage.py runserver 9000 --livereload-port=9090

the second complains manage.py runserver: error: unrecognized arguments: --livereload-port 9090

I am also running to this same issue. The --livereload-port argument does not seem to be working

Looks like I found the answer to this exact issue.

From the docs:

Add 'livereload' to the INSTALLED_APPS, before 'django.contrib.staticfiles' if this is used:

Looks like you are not installing this above the "staticfiles" app

After some further investigation, the only way that I could reliably set the port to affect the script in the middleware and the livereload server itself was in the settings.

I added LIVERELOAD_PORT = 1234 in my settings.

so the docs need updating

If I were the maintainer, I would remove the --livereload-port argument from the ./manage.py command altogether. I think that it adds confusion, because it can only possibly control the port that the Django development server knows about. The Tornado server, which I think is what runs when you do ./manage.py livereload doesn't know what port you specified in the other ./manage.py command.

That's why I think it makes sense to just drop these parameters, and just set all of these settings under the settings.py file.
