play-scala-seed

This is a seed project based on a giter8 template.

To run the project, assuming you have sbt installed (it is installed for you on turing), cd into its top-level directory and run:

sbt

Then, from the sbt prompt, to start it on port 1234

run 1234

If you are on a shared machine (eg, turing) you should choose a port number nobody else is using. On turing, there is a script my_tomcat_ports that can give you some random port numbers to use.

To stop the server, press Ctrl-d

To exit the sbt prompt, press Ctrl-d again
