In RC2 the commands section of project.json is no longer used. I haven't gotten Kestrel to pick up the hosting.json yet, but you can programatically set the port in the Main of the application where the new WebHostBuilder is created and configured. Just add .UseUrls() method like in the sample below

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var host = new WebHostBuilder()
            .UseUrls("http://0.0.0.0:5000/")
            .UseKestrel()
            .UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
            .UseIISIntegration()
            .UseStartup()
            .Build();

        host.Run();
    }
