what is the difference between the port 80 and 8080?

They apparently forgot to say to change the following also:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf

In file ports.conf, line 8.
Find:
NameVirtualHost *:80

Change to:
NameVirtualHost *:8080

And!
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

In file default, line 1.
Find:

Change to:

Eventually restart your apache2 server ;)

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Good luck!

Kind regards,

Great Post.
Simple and easy to understand.
But I was wondering how I could server multiple IPs,Ports.
How would the Virtual Hosts file look like?
Is it enough to change the
NameVirtualHost ?
