Apache Friends Support Forum

just installed latest xampp..

trying to chenge port.. i changed it in httpd.conf (just like in linux)

when i click "apache_start.bat" it starts apache on port 443 although i set the port 8080

well, ACTUALLY, XAMPP starts Apache on TWO ports - one for http, and another for https (443)

so its probably OK, did you test connecting on 8080???

Yes 443 !! I was looking all over the place for the right config file..
How do I disable port 443?

and also how do I listen on port 8080 from all domains not just localhost ?

You would have Apache Listen on port 8080 for every ServerName you have configured in the httpd-vhosts.conf file if you use virtualhosts.

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:8080>

For server wide port 8080 use, make sure that in the httpd.conf file this line is set

Code: Select all

Listen 8080

You can even use

Code: Select all

Listen *:8080

to be sure that Apache will listen for normal request on port 8080 from any source.

Remember to save the file and restart Apache and also remember to add the port number at the end of every URI, like so:
http://www.mydomain.tld:8080
