Title: Change Apache listening port
Post by: landymas on October 24, 2007, 12:38:31 PM

I have a friend who runs two SMEServers behind a hardware firewall. He wants to set up one of them to listen for http requests on a port other than the standard port 80 and set up the appropriate forwarding on the firewall. What is the procedure?
Thanks

reading your desires it might be easier to leave the ports at port 80 and only forward the port on the gateway in between the SME Servers and the network. Than you only need to setup a portforward rule from an arbitrary outside port (e.g. 8080) to the local SME Server's port 80.

Code: [Select]

          INTERNET
           |   |
          80  8080
           |   |
          GATEWAY
           |   |
SMESERVER1:80  SMESERVER2:80

Thanks,
One of those answers that was so simple that I, of course, never thought of it.
