Hi,

In rasa old version we had an availability of changing port number but now rasa nlu and rasa core were merged , now how can we change port number in latest version of rasa and in which files we need to make changes?

thanks in advance!

Hi @Mounika1,

I’d recommend you to read:

if you start the bot via cmd, then it would be

rasa run [-h] [-v] [-vv] [--quiet] [-m MODEL] [--log-file LOG_FILE] [--endpoints ENDPOINTS] [-p PORT]

depending on which port you want to configure. Otherwise you either have the possibility to modify config.yml for possible Extractor ports or endpoints/credentials.

If you need help, feel free to ask.

Regards

what files we need to mention in the above command along with port number or how can I modify config.yml for possible extractor ports.

Hi @Mounika1

a default could be: rasa run -vv -m models/ --endpoints endpoints.yml -p 5005

If you e.g. use duckling as an extractor, your config.yml should contain:

  - dimensions:
    - time
    - duration
  locale: de_DE
  name: DucklingHTTPExtractor
  timezone: Europe/Berlin
  url: http://localhost:8001

In which you could just modify the port to your wishes.

Did that help?

yeah, I tried this and the port number is changing by running above command but still showing the previous bot instead of new one. How can I fix this?

What do you mean by “previous bot”?

If you are talking about a specific model, you can use the path to this model as the command line argument for “-m”…

Do you try to run several bots alongside?

yeah I am running 3 bots using different port numbers

Okay, then I need to know more about your setup:

  • Does every bot have its own directory in terms of the rasa file/directory structure?
  • Are you using separate action and/or nlg server?
  • Are you using any credentials/endpoints that might lead to duplicate ports?

yeah, every bot has its own directory in terms of the rasa file/directory structure I am using the same action server for 2 bots in credentials I am not using anything that leads to duplicate ports but in endpoints I am mentioning same action server for 2 bots

Okay, so based on what I read you have to do:

Open Terminal 1:

rasa run -m <directory_of_bot_1>/<path_to_model>/<modelname> --endpoints <directory_of_bot_1>/endpoints.yml --credentials <directory_of_bot_1>/credentials.yml -p 5005

Open Terminal 2:

rasa run -m <directory_of_bot_1>/<path_to_model>/<modelname> --endpoints <directory_of_bot_1>/endpoints.yml --credentials <directory_of_bot_1>/credentials.yml -p 5006

However, if you want to interact with the HTTP API of each bot, you have to specify:

rest:

in the credentials and then you would be able to request:

http://localhost:5005/webhooks/rest/webhook
http://localhost:5006/webhooks/rest/webhook

Did that help you?

I would by the way recommend you to use docker-compose for this type of scenario.

I tried that but still I am facing the same issue. Do I need to change actions server port too??

12

hey @Mounika1, you can change the port using the below command

rasa run -m models --enable-api --cors “*” --debug -p 5004

13

while running bot by using the above command it is not displaying any bot there, it is just displaying an empty page.
