I think it's ok to post in this mailing list, maybe we should add something in the docs about this.

VQWiki in standalone mode embeds the Winstone Servlet container, so all its command line options apply, you can find a full list here:
	http://winstone.sourceforge.net/#commandLine

So to start it on, say, a 9090 port you should use:
	java -jar vqwiki.jar --httpPort=9090

You can run multiple instances, but in that case I think it's easier to change settings using an external servlet container or if you're ok with it, use the virtual wikis feature in a single instance.

With the embedded servlet container it's tricky but you can do it:
	1) add on the command line --jndi.param.propertiesFile.value=<your_custom_vqwiki.properties_file_path>
	2) add on the command line --httpPort=<your_custom_port>
	3) specify a custom tmp dir for Winstone: -Djava.io.tmpdir=<your_custom_tmpdif>
	4) once started, go to admin and change the vqwiki home dir from the default <home>/wiki to a custom one

I hope I've answered your question.
