Topic: changing apache's listening port (again)

[Tõnis Tobre]

Hello!
I have read all topics on this forum and tried all different ways to change Apache's lisening port 80 to 113, but I can't manage on it. My ISP has block all TCP ports, except 113 and I would like to share my web. I use SME 5.6.

Could someone help me and teach my step-by-step?

I don't believe they've blocked ALL ports as this would make it impossible to use applications like MSN MEssenger and many of the network games. Normally ISP's only block ports up to 1024.

1/ Have you opened the port on the SME server?
2/ Is there a router/firewall before your SME server?
3/ Have you tried a port above 1024 (for example 10080)?

Sorry for my english, I try to explain...
I live in Estonia and my ISP is Elion. Here you can find my my ADSL packet.

I try to translate my technical parameters.

*none of incoming TCP connections are allowed towards customer, except answer TCP packets customers request. UDP packets, there are no limit.

1. Yes, I have. I installed a little utility (I don't know, how to say this .rpm file) and then I could open the 113 external port on SME server.
2. My SME server is itself router and firewall and webserver too.
3. No I haven't, because I think none of incoming TCP packets are allowrd. But one friend said to me that 113 port is not blocked. Then I take a little test.I shuted down my SME router/firewall and installed my DSL modem directly to my w2k computer. I installed Apace webserver in my W2k conputer and I changed Listening port to 113 in httpd.conf. Then I tested :113 and it worked.
Now I would like change on SME apache's listening port, but it is very complicated and I don't know Linux so well. Could you teach me?
You can teach me over MSN Messenger, my contact is tobre@hot.ee. Then it is easyer to communicate.

Can anybody help me or give me suggestions what I have to do....

Thanks

Try port 10080 first. I'm fairly sure this will work.

I will, if you help me how to change Apache's listening port. This was my problem. What must I do, when I want to change the listening port?

May I mail you to get quicker advice than this forum?

113 TCP is already in use by IDENT, you'd need to shut down IDENT before you can bind Apache to TCP 113.

How can I do that?
