I think you're overcomplicating it. The only place you will have to do any configuration for Apache is in the httpd.conf file. Usually located in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf To handle the modifications you wish to do you need only make a couple of changes. 1. Let Apache know to listen on another port. This is done by using the "Listen" directive. You may already have a line for port 80. This one will allow for you to listen on multiple IP addresses. Listen *:8080 or for only one address... Listen 12.34.56.78:8080 2. Configure a virtual host to handle those requests. (This is just for show, exact definition is up to you.) <VirtualHost _default_:8080> ServerName your.host.name DocumentRoot "/var/www/path-to-files" </VirtualHost> And you're all done. Restart apache and begin browsing. # service httpd restart Hope that helps. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
