title: Play Framework 2.1.1 Deployment Issues
body: <p>So, I'm trying to deploy my very simple Play Framework 2.1.1 app but whenever I pass flags through the command line for port and to apply database evolutions, they are ignored.</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sudo play start -Dhttp.port=80 -DapplyEvolutions.default=true</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Using this command, the server will not start.  Both the port and applyEvolutions=true flags are ignored completely and it throws this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[warn] play - Your production database [default] needs evolutions!
    [warn] play - Run with -DapplyEvolutions.default=true if you want to
    run them automatically (be careful) 
    Oops, cannot start the server. @6elhl9mca: Database 'default' needs evolution!</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.  Using Play Run on my local machine works fine, no issues.  The server is running Ubuntu 12.04.  All the proper drivers and connection strings are present and tested, database is running, everything is working without issue except the Play Framework.</p>
