  • Examples


    Start runserver on 127.0.0.1, port 8080.

    drush rs 8080

    Start runserver on 10.0.0.28, port 80.

    drush rs 10.0.0.28:80

    Start runserver on IPv6 localhost ::1, port 80.

    drush rs [::1]:80

    Start runserver on localhost (using rDNS to determine binding IP), port 8888, and open /user in browser.

    drush rs --dns localhost:8888/user

    Start runserver on default IP/port (127.0.0.1, port 8888), and open / in browser.

    drush rs /

    Use a default (would be specified in your drushrc) that starts runserver on port 8080, and opens a browser to the front page. Set path to a single hyphen path in argument to prevent opening browser for this session.

    drush rs --default-server=127.0.0.1:8080/ -

    Start runserver on 127.0.0.1, port 9000, and open /admin in browser. Note that you need a colon when you specify port and path, but no IP.

    drush rs :9000/admin
