ISP is blocking Port 80

[Spot]

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

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.

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.

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.
