Apache Port

Typically, http servers run on port 80. In some circumstances, you may want Apache to run on a different port. This is useful if you are analyzing the performance of different web servers.

To set the port Apache runs on, you will need to edit the local.conf file. Locate the line which says "$Port = " and change the value on the right hand side to the port you want Apache to run on. For example, if you want Apache to run on port 82, the resulting line would look like:

    $Port = 82;

Don't forget the semicolon!

To fetch pages from the new port, you must incorporate the port number into the URL. This is done by placing a colon and the port number directly following the site name. For example, if you move Apache to port 82, and want to access the Lyris List Manager Web Interface, the URL would look like:

    http://yourserver:82/cgi-bin/lyris.pl
