# Jifty::Script::Server(3pm)

A standalone webserver for your Jifty application

## NAME

Jifty::Script::Server - A standalone webserver for your Jifty application

## SYNOPSIS

```
    jifty server
    jifty server --port 6666
    jifty server --stop
```

## DESCRIPTION

Starts and stops Jifty's standalone web server.

### options

- \--port

  The port to run the server on. Overrides the port in the config file, if it is set there. The default port is 8888.

- \--user USER

  The user to become after binding to the port.  It is advised that you use this when binding to low ports, instead of running as `"root"`. This option only works if the server is using a Net::Server subclass.

- \--group GROUP

  The group to become after binding to the port.  Like `"--user"`, this option only works if the server is using a Net::Server subclass.

- \--host HOSTNAME

  The host to bind to.  This option only works if the server is using a Net::Server subclass.

- \--stop

  Stops the server, if it is running.  This is accomplished by reading the PID from `"var/jifty-server.pid"`

- \--restart

  restart the server, if it is running. This is accomplished by  killing the child pid, and let parent pid create a new one

- \--sigready SIGNAL

  Sets the signal number that should be sent to the server's parent process when the server is ready to accept connections.

- \--quiet

  Reduces the amount of debug output sent by the server

- \--dbiprof

  Turns on DBI profiling; see DBI::ProfileDumper.

- **--help**

  Print a brief help message and exits.

- **--man**

  Prints the manual page and exits.

## DESCRIPTION

When you're getting started with Jifty, this is the server you want. It's lightweight and easy to work with.

## METHODS

### run

`"run"` takes no arguments, but starts up a Jifty server process for you.
