Change port for pootle server

Question

I have just setup Pootle translation server, but as being absolute beginner with Python, and fact that I can't find any configuration setting in default file that Pootle installation creates regarding HTTP port that servers run on, hope that someone here can give me quick tip.

From Pootle's documentation:

By default Pootle provides a built-in CherryPy server that will be enough for quickly testing the software.

Answer 1

The built-in CherryPy server's default port is 8000, and you can change it by passing --port <port-number> to the pootle start command.

Note however you should only use CherryPy for testing, and setting up a reverse proxy is highly recommended.

Answer 2

In Pootle 2.7 you need to use:

pootle run_cherrypy --port <PORT_NUM>

instead of pootle start which does not accept --port nor --host.

I need to have CherryPy bound to all interfaces, so I use:

pootle run_cherrypy --host 0.0.0.0
