OwinHost.exe from command line - how to make it start on a different port?

Yes, I have looked on google for this seeming simple question w/o much luck.

So my project includes the OwinHost (OwinHost.exe) NuGet package, and this has updated my project in such a way as to allow the Visual Studio IDE, via property pages, to specifically launch OwinHost.exe using whatever url:port I've specified on the 'Web' tab.. .. but since this is currently error-ing out and closing the cmd window before I can see the error.. I thought I'd try to run OwinHost.exe manually...

I know how to cd to my web project's bin folder and then call out to the appropriate packages subdir to OwinHost.exe to make it start listening for web requests. But, it listens on port :5000 and I want to change this.

Solution

  • Ugh.. just figured it out... the -u switch..

    ..\..\packages\OwinHost.3.1.0\tools\OwinHost.exe -u https://localhost:443/
