Issues getting apache to work on anything other than port 80

[juliushibert63]

I can't seem to get apache to work on a non default 80 port.

I've got in to ports conf and changed it to the follwoing.


# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
# This is also true if you have upgraded from before 2.2.9-3 (i.e. from
# Debian etch). See /usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/NEWS.Debian.gz and
# README.Debian.gz

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 55741

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
# If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
# the VirtualHost statement in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
# to <VirtualHost *:443>
# Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
# supported by MSIE on Windows XP.
Listen 443
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>



I've also disabled firestarter to rule that out as well. As soon as the port is changed back to 80 I can access the server fine and I get the standard apache working file.

Also when restarting apache via the terminal it works but I do get a few errors.


/etc/apache2$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
...done.


I'm running apache2 on Ubuntu10.4 64bit version.

Any ideas what could be going wrong here.

Check your first three lines of the .conf you posted.


# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

that file is just a pointer to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

if you look in that file there's another port to change right at the top:


<VirtualHost *:80>

Thanks for your help.

Turns out as you suggested changing the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file worked a treat.

Glad to hear it worked for you!
