Spot Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi all I am new to this, I have been running a FTP server for a wile but would like to run an http web server as well. I have been tolled Apache was the way to go for http server. I have set it all up and found that my ISP is blocking port 80 :-\. I don't know how to change the port settings or what port to use instead. It would be grate if someone could help me out here. :'( Thanks Dave (Spot) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/38631-isp-is-blocking-port-80/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If your ISP is blocking port 80 - there is little you can do. Change ISP. Make sure its not just your router etc. that has port 80 blocked. -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/38631-isp-is-blocking-port-80/#findComment-185407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 There is a directive in your httpd.conf file called Listen, change it to whatever port you want. You'll then need your users to type... http://yourip:yourport However, I believe if you use a servcie such as dyndns they should be able to redirect request to port 80 to another port for you.

steviewdr Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 thorpe - good idea. Spot: this would mean that ppl would have to manually type in http://youripaddress:8080 or: http://domainame:someport Note: dont pick too random of a port to run apache on. Some proxies (mine at work anways) only allows port 80 - and because of this I wouldnt be able to access your non port 80 website. -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/38631-isp-is-blocking-port-80/#findComment-185458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
