Port 80 blocked? use another one.

[Zisly]

Well some people can have problems with port 80 being blocked when they try to host a site, and they have tried everything.

So what you can do is change the port the web server will be listening to, I will show you how to do it.

Configure

• First off; go to your XAMPP folder.
• Now go to Apache\conf\ and open the file httpd.conf.
• Search for the word 'Listen', you will now see this;
  
  -
• Now what you need to do is simply change the port the server will listen to.
  So if I would like it to listen at 7172 then I would replace 'Listen 80' with 'Listen 7172'.
• Save the file and your done.
  There is a 'catch' with this, you will need to have the port after your IP if it's not listening at 80.
  Ex; 83.255.xx.xx:7172
  It might not be that fun for people to type :7172 at the end, so what you can do it get a redirection.
  I will assume you already have a no-ip account and know how it works.
• Go to no-ip.com, log in and go to the add host page.
• Now, pick a hostname and then check Port 80 Redirect.
  This will "pop up":
  
• Get your ip addres from whatsmyip.net and type it in the ip field.
  Now set the port the web server is using, in this case 7172.
• Now just click Create Host and your done.
  It might take some minutes for it to update so stay calm.
• Now simple restart/start XAMPP and if everything went right you can now use aname.no-ip.org instead of 83.255.xx.xx:7172.
  Of course the ip and :7172 will still be showed but the user doesn't need to enter it.

I don't know much about this, there is probably a better way

Feel free to rep++ me

You need to make sure the chosen port also is open.

You can't run the server and website on the same port.

 

[kornholi]

if your isp blocks port 80, then it is usually against TOS to host a web server :s

Ok.
