Run sails console on a different port then sails lift

Try with

sails lift --port 8080

That worked out for me.

sails lift and sails console natively handle some parameters. So you can use:

• sails lift to run your app on the default port (1337 if you don't modify your config)
• sails console --port 1338 in an other tab/window to run the console on another port
