Change Listen Port on httpd config for Varnish Configuration

Question

I installed Varnish Cache my CentOS server.I try the do configuration correctly but as I read many document say to me change apache port Listen 80 to Listen 8080. But I couldn't find any Listen 80 line on my server /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf but i found 0.0.0.0:80 line. Is it same thing ? If those are same thinhgs, when i change my sites not working.

I know that I make huge logical mistake but i can't understand.

Thanks

Answer 1

In this file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf there should be a line: ServerRoot "/etc/httpd" Below this line there is Listen 80 Change this to Listen 8080 and restart apache

Restarting with command: /etc/init.d/httpd restart

I also found this:-> http://updatedlinux.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/how-to-change-the-default-port-number-for-apache-http-server/

Possible that this will help!

To me it looks like SELinux is standing in the way and is prohibiting the use of your custom port.

So the solution should be one of these:

• a) disable SELinux (if your scenario allows it and you don't need it)
• b) set SELinux permissive
• c) configure SELinux to allow your custom port for the httpd service

see /etc/sysconfig/selinux for a) and b)

use semanage for c)
