Topic: Changing Apache listen port in 5.5

[Ian]

Can some one give me the instructions on how to do this the instructions for 5.1.2 do not work.  Please reply quickly if you can.

[Ian]

Can anyone help me with this????

I'm trying to do the same thing, what I've done so far, is edited 05Port in
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

No luck there, i've changed the port, there, and restarted the service, no luck, can you tell me what 5.1.2 tells you.

http://www.familybrown.org/howtos/listen-port-howto.html  go there for the instructions I used but it says you need to modify 2 files but one does nto exist.

Well its actually really easy, just some trial and error got it done for me, here's how:

First you want to make the directory

[root@e-smith /root]# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

then you want to copy the file 35Listen80 from the original template

[root@e-smith /root]# cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/35Listen80 /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/

then edit your newy coped file

[root@e-smith /root]# pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/35Listen80

which should look like:

{
    my $listen_default = "Listen 0.0.0.0:80";

    my $mode = db_get($confref, "SystemMode") || "serveronly";

    return $listen_default if ($mode eq "serveronly");

    my $httpdAccess =
        db_get_prop($confref, "httpd-e-smith", "access") || "private";

    return $listen_default unless ($httpdAccess eq "private");

    # Only selectively bind interfaces if we are in private server/gateway mode

    my @ipAddresses = ("127.0.0.1", $LocalIP);

    # Remove any duplicate IP addresses
    my %ipAddresses = map { $_ => 1 } @ipAddresses;
    foreach my $ip (sort keys %ipAddresses)
    {
        $OUT .= "Listen $ip:80\n";
    }
}


just edit the second line 'my $listen_default = "Listen 0.0.0.0:80";' replacing 80 to whatever port you want, and doing the same for the 21st line '$OUT .= "Listen $ip:80\n";' by once again changing the 80 to whatever port you want.  exit out of pico and  rebuild the template:

[root@e-smith /root]# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

and then restart apache:

[root@e-smith /root]# service httpd restart

and you should be good to go

P.S.
Gotta cite my sources, thanks
Dan Brown @ http://www.familybrown.org/howtos/listen-port-howto.html
which need just a little changing for version 5.5

[Ian]

I just wanted to say thank you.  So thank you very much.

Theres actually 2 more files you have to edit if you want your ibays to run on a different port also. They are:

80VirtualHost
80NameVirtualHosts

Hi.

Is it possible to still use the /server-manager/ webinterface, when the port is changed?

Coz I´m sooooooo newbie at this Linux thing, so it´s a nice tool to have, untill I get the shell thingy learned
