I just found out my isp blocked port 80. How do i go abuot changing the port. What i really want to do is to just add another. Is this possinle under apache??

Hi,

You do this with the 'Listen' global directive. You can either just specify the port(s) or ip address + port. For example:

Listen 80
Listen 8080

Listen 172.16.16.1:80
Listen 202.12.13.14:8080

You can have multiple 'listens' as per the above. The last example shows still using port 80 on the lan but port 8080 for the external interface. If you leave the ip out it just listens on all interfaces.

This goes as a global statement in your httpd.conf file.

My ISP does not garentee a static IP address. Is there any way i can change the port for eveerythiny global address and leave it to 80 for local?

Hi,

Just do something like this :

Listen 172.16.16.1:80
Listen 8080

It would listen on both 80 & 8080 for the specified interface but only 8080 for other interfaces.

DO i have to chage the "Port" entry in the httpd.conf?

right now it reads:
Port 80

Hi,

No, 'BindAddress' and 'Port' are not necessary if you have a 'Listen' directive.
(They basically do the same thing but 'Listen' has a global scope.
