Q. How do I configure Apache HTTPD to listen multiple ports under RHEL / Fedora / CentOS Linux Server?
A. Multiple ports can be configured via Listen directive under Apache web server. By default httpd listens on TCP port 80.
How to configure httpd to listen multiple ports?
Open configure file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and modify the Listen directive tells the server to accept incoming requests on the specified port. Multiple Listen directives may be used to specify a number of ports to listen to.
# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Find line that read as follows:
Listen 80
Force httpd to listen to port 81:
Listen 81
Force httpd to listen on both port 80 and 81:
Listen 80
Listen 81
Save and close the file. Restart httpd:
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
