I am trying to set up https for play 2.2.1. It successfully works by running:

# play -Dhttps.port=9443
# run

But then when I do it with

# play -Dhttps.port=9443
# dist

and unzip the folder and try to run it with the .bat file. However,play does not listen to HTTPS as it did when I used 'play run' ( it only listens to HTTP).

I've tried both

# <name>.bat

and 

# <name>.bat -Dhttps.port=9443

Am I missing something? I've looked at http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ConfiguringHttps from my understanding 'start' is the name.bat since I am running it in Windows. Are there any additional configurations/steps I need to take?

Many thanks in advance!

  • I think it could be a Windows 8 problem because it worked in Linux. I am still interested in finding out if there is a workaround. Please let me know if you know. – Maria Jul 17 '14 at 17:20

In Windows, dev mode uses the environment variable PLAY_OPTS. In looks like the generated Windows batch file recognizes an environment _OPTS. My app is called mdash:

"%_JAVACMD%" %_JAVA_OPTS% %MDASH_OPTS% -cp "%APP_CLASSPATH%" %APP_MAIN_CLASS% %CMDS%

See my answer to this question: How do I change the default port (9000) that Play uses when I execute the "run" command?
