Steps to change the default port number for Apache HTTP Server

Add a comment February 28th, 2007 Lijin

We all know that as default the Apache HTTP Server will ping to port number 80 . What we have to do when a situation of changing this post number comes? Lets see some simple steps for this…

1. Assume that your new port number is 78

2. cp /etc/httpd/ports.conf /etc/httpd/ports.conf_backupgedit /etc/httpd/ports.conf

3. Find this line- Listen 80

4. Replace with the following line – Listen 78

5. Save the edited file

6. /etc/init.d/httpd restartApache HTTP server, Linux

Hi guys,

if you have “permission denied”, it means your user is not allowed to perform such action.
So login as a root or admin user and you should be able to start your apache http server properly.

Hi,

How can I change the port of virtual dedicated server. I want my tomcat to listen on port 80 and not the apache(Apache server is not running), So I did change on my server.xml but still i cannot get to port 80 where my tomcat is , is there any restrictions imposed by the Hosting provider, which is Godaddy in my case.

Thanks,
Emily
