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.

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 :)

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

Sphing:

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 :)
