apache, with virtualhosts on multiple ports

Here mainly because i forget this. If you want to set up a new VirtualHost ,on your Apache Server,on new port i.e. 81 just add this to your HTTPD.conf file

but before you restart the services don't forget to make Apache Listen on that port as well by adding the following under "LISTEN 80"

Without this Apache will not be listening on PORT 81, and you'll be sitting in front of your box wondering what you've missed - you'll realise - then you'll blog about it ;o)

Hey andy, do you have a tutorial or book you recomend for getting started with apache? Especially on windows? I've been wanting to use it for a while just for experience, but I just can't seem to find anything that really helps.

Hi Ryan, i hate it when people say this myself, but i actually got it from the manuals and searching the web. In a nutshell i got the binaries, then starting up your first site easy as you just need to find the httpd.conf file - basically you settings file. Setting up an alias to something like the CFIDE folder is as simple as adding the follwoing to this file
Alias /CFIDE "c:/cfmx7/wwwroot/CFIDE/".

If you need any help drop me a line. I'm in no way a guru in Apache on Windows, but i've got mine up and running - so thats gotta count for something :o)

If you're running a website on port 81, your users will have to type an ugly :81 in the URL, ex. http://example.com:81/.

You can get around the blocked port 80 issue and hide the port in the URL if you use TZO's webrelay. TZO can redirect web traffic around blocked ports.
