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.
08:14:34.496 [info] Running TestWeb.Endpoint with cowboy 2.6.3 at :::4000 (http)

Ah yes. I have to use the
PORTenvironment variable:Is this a bug? What happens if I use different port in the configuration file?

Just changing
prod.exsmight 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.exsand try to play through theload_configcalls and see if you end up in your applicationsconfig/prod.exs.hubertlepicki
You must have somewhere something like
System.get_env("PORT")or{:system, "PORT"}. Try finding it in your project, you will learn where it’s being set and apparently it overwrites your configuration of prod.exsollran
Thanks! I found this in
test_umbrella/config/prod.secret.exs.Changing the port here works. I think I will configure my application to use the environment variable everywhere.

Glad I could help.

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