site to listen on port 88

  • 772

I want to get one of my sites to listen on port 88.

In ports.conf in /etc/apache2 on ubuntu server, I add so web app can listen on port 88:

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

NameVirtualHost *:88
Listen 88

I have this in my etc/apache2/apache2.conf, I have this:

# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include sites-enabled/

Under sites enabled, I have a file looks like this:

Listen *:88

NameVirtualHost *:88

<VirtualHost *:88>
  ServerName dogtracking.com
  DocumentRoot /home/doggps/public_html/eaglegps.com/current/public
  <Directory /home/doggps/public_html/eaglegps.com/current/public>
    AllowOverride all
    Options -MultiViews
  </Directory>

  <LocationMatch "^/assets/.*$">
    Header unset ETag
    FileETag None
    # RFC says only cache for 1 year
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
  </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>

Then I try to restart apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And I get:

* Restarting web server apache2                                                                                                                                                                                           /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: line 87: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

  1. You have two Listen directives for the same IP address/port combination. The second one will fail and Apache won't be able to start.

    Also, did you use sudo to restart Apache?

    The permission errors make me think you didn't.
