Expected Behavior

when I run:

applicationName/target/universal/stage/bin/applicationName -Dconfig.resource=production.conf -Dplay.evolutions.db.default.autoApply=true

The application works well.

However, when I run:

applicationName/target/universal/stage/bin/applicationName -Dhttp.port=9000 -Dconfig.resource=production.conf -Dplay.evolutions.db.default.autoApply=true

application cannot start.

Please describe the expected behavior of the issue, starting from the first action.

### Tasks

Reproduce the two production startup commands using production.conf, comparing the run without an explicit port to the run with -Dhttp.port=9000. Start with the stack-trace entry points in play.core.server.ProdServerStart, play.db.ebean.EbeanDynamicEvolutions, and com.avaje.ebeaninternal.server.core.DefaultContainer. Done means the explicitly ported production command starts without the Ebean datasource and injector errors shown here.
