    Question httpd question

    does anyone know how to change the port for httpd to use instead of port 80?
    Or is that even possible...
    any input would be greatly appreciated!

    edit the httpd.conf file, here /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
    or wherever you installed apache to...

    Find the section about listening

    and add

    Listen <insert port number here>

    or

    Listen <insert-ip-address-here> : <insert port number here>

    then restart httpd

    Finally an easy question that I can answer. If you use Apache, find your httpd.conf file and use an editor (I prefer vi) to make changes. My httpd.conf file is located in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Near the top of the file you will see something like this. This is from my computer so don't copy.

    ### Main Configuration Section
    ### You really shouldn't change these settings unless you're a guru
    ###
    ServerName skriptkittysecurity.cjb.net
    Port 80 <-------change this
    NameVirtualHost 169.147.*.*
    ServerType standalone
    ServerRoot /etc/httpd

    After you change that you can host on a different port. Of course then you have to set firewall rules and the real fun begins.

    Of course, in LinuxConf's networking section, you can edit apache's port number etc from a GUI, but the above ways work too and are probably easier on the whole. (In that youre less likely to want to play about with the other settings and f**k the whole thing up).
