Port 80 2

[sarm]

Hello,
Is there a way to tell if apache is indeed listening
on port 80. I have installed 1.3.14. I have seen some doc's
on httpd.conf and BindAdress * is not in my file does it need to be.

I have listen 80 but do not have BindAddress *
Is this needed to tell port 80 which eth0 to listen on.
If I should have it would the correct syntax be
BindAddress x.x.x.x:80

thank you

Apache listens to port 80 by default. Easy way to check is to open up a browser and type

[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost[/URL]

. If Apache's default page comes up then it is indeed listening to port 80. Wushutwist

Another way is to type

netstat -pln
then you should see a line similar to:

tcp 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN ###/httpd

This means that your server is litening on all interfaces/ips on port 80 for requests from any host and that the httpd process (apache) is handling this port.

if it says something like:

tcp 0 1.2.3.4:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN ###/httpd

it means you are binding apache only to the ipaddress 1.2.3.4


Hope that helps
