Title: Cable Co. blocking inbound traffic to port 80
Post by: Stone Linton on October 07, 2001, 04:22:17 AM

I'm trying to configure my e-smith box to listen for html on port 8080 instead of 80 (Cox Cable blocks port 80 inbound traffic).

I followed some online documentation, but still can't see my server from the outside.  I'm using the following "http://www..com:8080" but get nothing.

Am I doing this wrong?  How can I test/verify which port Apache is listening on?

I did give it a trie last evening and got it working. And this is what i have done
login as root to your box

On the prompt:
cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/http/conf/http.conf/35Listen80 /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/http/conf/http.conf

pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/http/conf/http.conf/35Listen80

- edit in this file the next string:
$OUT .= "Listen $ip:80\n"

where you're changing 80 in the wished portnumber and save the file

afterwards
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

When you've finished this, it should work.
