All help would be appreciated. You're not doing anything wrong. When you type a URL into a web browser, for example http://www.linux-mandrake.com, the browser assumes port 80 (that is, after all, the standard). If port 80 isn't open, it will return an error. If you want to use a non-standard port, then you're going to have to live with specifying the port in the URL. -Matt Stegman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

However, ports below 1024 are usually assigned by the Internet Powers the Be, and you risk a collision at some time in the future. I suggest you use a port above 1024. -- -- C^2 No windows were crashed in the making of this email. Looking for fine software and/or web pages? http://w3.trib.com/~ccurley PGP signature

All help would be appreciated. That's the only way it works. If you don't specify a port in your browser, the browser connects to (or tries to) port 80. BTW: What's so bad about port 80?

Re: [expert] http set up
I think thats the way it's supposed to work... All webbrowsers will go to port 80 unless otherwise specified Andrew On Sat, 29 Jul 2000, maxtor wrote: > > I want to have a web server but I don't want to use the default port "80".
