Topic: Seecondary webserver on port 8080

[svetlo56]

I want to setup a secondary webserver at port 8080. I know that modification of httpd.conf is necessary:

1. Which of httpd.conf should I modify (there are about a dozen of them on my sme server)

2. I need to change Listen to 8080 instead of 80, should I change anything else?

3. Anything else needs to be changed?

Thanks

I want to setup a secondary webserver at port 8080. I know that modification of httpd.conf is necessary:

No, you need an additional httpd.conf.

1. Which of httpd.conf should I modify (there are about a dozen of them on my sme server)

No, there are only two, and you shouldn't modify either of them. You should create a new one.

2. I need to change Listen to 8080 instead of 80, should I change anything else?

That depends entirely on what you want to do with the web server. The documentation at http://www.apache.org/ (and elsewhere) should help you a lot.

3. Anything else needs to be changed?

Yes, you'll need to allow access through the firewall to port 8080. You can do that by creating a custom template fragment /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/45Allow2ndhttp
containing:

{
   $OUT = allow_tcp_in(8080, 1);
}

Then do:

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq adjust

I can't find anything useful on apache.org. There is a howto on this
http://www.familybrown.org/howtos/listen-port-howto.html

but it's hopelessly outdated and useless.

I would like to see step by step instructions. Thanks

(I disabled firewall on my SME server and enabled 8080 from my external firewall, so that's not a problem. The problem is httpd.conf)
