Switching http Port

[chocklehot]

Hey .. all.. Could anyone tell me how to change http port.. cause my host is blocking :80 port :/
On Os x.2



Thx

It's quite simple to do actually.

In Terminal.app type:

sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Look for the part that says

Port 80

and change it to whatever port you want it to listen to.
Save the changes by typing
Ctrl+O and then Enter.

Then type

sudo apachectl restart

Thx man
But I better liked to use BBedit... opening httpd.conf... finding port 80 and changing it

[Captain Code]

No problem. I wasn't aware that you could open write protected, or hidden files in BBEdit.

Yes, BBEdit has supported user authentication to open hidden/system files for many months through the "Open Hidden..." command

[Captain Code]

Sweet.

i love the command line "bbedit" in 6.5

"bbedit etc/httpd/httpd.conf"

if I ever see a "pico", "vi", or "emacs" command,
I just substitute "bbedit"!
