Apache

JROCK1980 · 09-21-2003, 04:46 AM

I want to run my HTTP server thru port 80, 1111, 1600. My ISP is blocking port 80. Is there a way using Apache to get around this? I am running a office machine a regular linksy router and an HTTP server. I am trying not only to show websites but I am trying to show video as well. Due to the port block of 80 I am unable to do this. Can anyone help?

Login at your router? make then port 80 is pointing at your IP adress, that you will get from your dhcp server (router)!

Btw. why spamming with the same message? - Yes, we can see you are in other forums! just use 1!?

WiZac, if you are talking about forwarding port 80 from the router then that won't work. If the ISP is blocking port 80 then the request won't even get to the router.

What you would have to do is edit httpd.conf and make it listen on a different port that isn't blocked like 1111. The problem is that whenever somebody wants to access your site they would have to specify the port 1111 in the url for it to work since http defaults to port 80.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
