My dad has installed a wireless router and I cannot use the apache server because the router uses the ip address for something how can I solve this ?

Your probably need to change the IP address Apache runs on and/or the port no.

 

YOu can do this by editing the httpd.conf file (located in the conf/ folder).

 

Scroll down to line 53 which be like this by default:

Listen 80

 

Change 80 to 8080 instead. Save the httpd.conf and restart Apache. Now go to http://localhost:8080 (or whatever ip/adomain address you use) and see if it connects.

 

Note: It is important you append :8080 after the ip/domain name. This tells the browser to communicate to the server via port 8080 and not the default, which is port 80. As you changed the port Apache listens to for tcp/ip requests.

I donot see listen 80 in my document anywhere

[wildteen88]

what does line 53 look like in the httpd.conf? Look for this line:

# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

now scroll down a few lines until your see

Listen xx

xx being the port number Apache is listening on.

Perhaps you just need to set up a port forword rule on your router to point port 80 to your servers internal ip address.

 

Hope that helps.
