Phoenix uses wrong port
Hi,
I created a new Phoenix umbrella application. I am trying to configure it to use different port, but the port does not change.
$ mix phx.new test --umbrella --no-ecto
In test_umbrella/config/prod.exs:
I uncommented this line:
config :test_web, TestWeb.Endpoint, server: true
and configured the ip and the port:
config :test_web, TestWeb.Endpoint,
url: [ip: [0,0,0,0], port: 1234],
cache_static_manifest: "priv/static/cache_manifest.json"
Then I ran:
$ cd test_umbrella/
$ SECRET_KEY_BASE=$(mix phx.gen.secret) MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
The server starts, but cowboy listens on port 4000 instead of 1234.

Ah yes. I have to use the PORT environment variable:
$ PORT=1234 SECRET_KEY_BASE=$(mix phx.gen.secret) MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server
Is this a bug? What happens if I use different port in the configuration file?

In short: The :http config is for listening part, while the :url config is for the url/link generation.

Thanks! I found this in test_umbrella/config/prod.secret.exs.
config :test_web, TestWeb.Endpoint,
http: [:inet6, port: String.to_integer(System.get_env("PORT") || "4000")],
secret_key_base: secret_key_base
Changing the port here works. I think I will configure my application to use the environment variable everywhere.

Just changing prod.exs might not necessarily help. Especially in an umbrella project you need to be very sure about when to edit which file.
This though is dependant on you overall config structure.
Just open your umbrellas root config/config.exs and try to play through the load_config calls and see if you end up in your applications config/prod.exs.
