If you work on multiple rails apps at once (eg. an app and a webservice), it is sometimes necessary to run rails development apps on a different ports. You can of course do this when you start the rails app by adding the -p switch.

But here is a way to set the default development port per app. Update script/server to look like this:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
default_port = 3001

if RAILS_ENV='development'
  ARGV << "-p#{default_port}" unless ARGV.to_s.include?("-p")
end

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../config/boot'
require 'commands/server'
