How to bind Apache to specific IP and port on Windows Server 2008

  • 772

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 that I use to host various ASP.NET applications under IIS7. I would also like to run various PHP based web apps using Apache (or Apache 2). The server has three static IP addresses assigned to it and I would like to bind one of the IP addresses to Apache while using the other two IP addresses for IIS. I can use the IIS Manager to bind the specific IP addresses to IIS, but I am unaware of how to do this with Apache. Can anyone tell me how to go about binding Apache to a specific IP address and port (port 80 is what I want to use).

Please note .. I am aware that PHP can run under IIS. In fact that is how I have been running my PHP web applications. However, there are so many inconsistencies and pitfalls with PHP running under IIS that I just prefer to use Apache.

    It's in the apache documentation and also commented in the apache2.conf file

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/bind.html

    e.g.

    # Listen on all interfaces on port 80
Listen 0.0.0.0:80  

# listen on 192.170.2.1 port 80
Listen 192.170.2.1:80

  2. Open httpd.conf under conf folder and The listen line should be edited so that it reads as

    listen yourip:yourport

    Then you would have apache2 listening on that port and that ip. netstat command should confirm this.
