[Ilugc] Running apache on different port
Hello friends, i am currently running a Red Hat 5.2 Linux server, i have the current scenario as we have a kerio mailserver running on this machine , it runs on port 80 but i also want to run apache server simultaneously, so when i checked for the status of the apache server it said that httpd stopped, if i start the httpd service, i am sure that i there will be a conflict. so in order to avoid this, i am planning to run the apache server at different port say 81 ( i think this can be setup by changing the Listen:80 to Listen:81 in the httpd.conf file) but in that case the webpages will be served only when i explicitly mention the port no as 81 for eg: http://localhost:81 but what i want to do is that . i want to run apache server at port 81 and want to access the pages without mentioning the port 81 some thing similar to http://localhost Is this possible..? Thanks in advance. -- ~ J Suresh Kumar 95000 90432 http://myrakshana.info/blog/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Nope. In simple terms, the address bar format is (protocol)://host[:port]. Port is optional if you are going to use the default port for the associated protocol such port 80 for http. If you don't use the default for the protocol, you have to explicitly specify it. -- 0 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

I am not familiar with Kerio but why do you need to run a mail server at port 80? There are a couple of ways around to solve your problem. Situation 1: If you have 2 separate domains or ip addresses then you can set a firewall rule that if the request comes in on kerio.domain then it goes to port 80 and if it comes in on http.domain(s) then go to port 81. But, this can be a messy solution and should be avoided as far as possible. Situation 2: Run apache on port 80, run kerio on a port other than 80 and setup a virtual domain which points to that port. Examples of this setup can be found here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html#port. IMO, this is a cleaner and easier to maintain/debug solution. -- With Regards, Mehul Ved ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
