How to change Festival server_port

Question

Can anyone tell how to change the server_port in Festival? I tried changing it using

set! server_port 1315

but after that the server_port still has 1314 the default value. Can anyone try to solve this?

Answer 1

This is an old one but it might be helpful to someone.

To define the festival server port simply use the following command line expression:

festival --server '(set! server_port PORT)'

Where PORT is your required port. The next example will start festival server on port 1515

festival --server '(set! server_port 1515)'
