apache on other port than 80

[Jean]

Hello,
I'm coming back to ubuntu after 4 years. So I'll be around here again.

Question: I'm gonna buy me a machine for ubuntu 10.4 server together with xfce.
I'm gonna set up that machine as web / fileserver.
I'd like it to run together with the windows pc that is currenty running apache at port 80.
What do I do to setup apache in ubuntu on another port to test while the windows pc is still serving at port 80?
Is that just a matter of changing htppd.conf?

vinny@desktop:/etc/apache2$ ls
apache2.conf envvars magic mods-enabled sites-available
conf.d httpd.conf mods-available ports.conf sites-enabled

check out the ports.conf and read the top

The internet is full of http servers all using the same port (80), and there is no conflict! Why do you need a different port?

I have http servers on a number of machines within my lan and that works fine too. One server even has half a dozen "sites" on the same IP, just like commercial shared hosting. Apache is made to do that very easily because of that need. Perhaps I'm missing something.

What you are missing is that I have to tell my router the network ip that traffic on port 80 gets send to, and that can only be 1 machine.

I see, a special router setup - got it. I just use a normal router here, so no problem. I use IPs and names without having to worry about ports, like on the internet. Anyway, I guess you found the ports.conf file and got it working now.
