In Play 2.x port is set while running/starting the application in the commandline (or in Play's console)

Examples:

  1. Running application in dev mode with port 9123:

    bash#: play "~run 9123"

  2. Starting application in production mode on port 9321:

    bash#: play "start 9321"

  3. You can do the same by firing console first, and than writing the command placed in quotes in previous points:

    bash#: play 

#(after console's load)
[your-new-app] $ ~run 9123

of course if you are always using specified ports, it's good idea to write a shell script (or *.bat file on Windows) and name them like run-local-dev.sh, start-local-prod.sh etc.
