Apache config - how to enable additional ports

  • 772

After installing mu LAMP stack. I have port 80 running by default athttp://127.0.1.1/

Now I want to add new ports, eg 8000, 8888.

How can I add them in my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf in my Ubuntu 17.04?

This is how I do it in Arch Linux:

2.2 In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, uncomment the following two lines for Proxy:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

2.3 Don't forget to add Port 443 to your listen ports in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

Listen 443
Listen 8888

2.3 Add these blocks:

<VirtualHost *:8888>
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyRequests Off
    ServerName www.xxxx.co.uk
    ServerAlias xxxx.co.uk
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3838/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3838/

    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/xxxx.co.uk/fullchain.pem"
    SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/xxxx.co.uk/privkey.pem"
</VirtualHost>

What about the Apache in Ubuntu?

I don't even see:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so

in apache2.conf in my Ubuntu 17.04.

    In Ubuntu Xenial:

    1. Add additional ports in the /etc/apache2/ports.conf like so:

      Listen 80
Listen 8888

    2. Now in your VirtualHost file add that port like so:

      <VirtualHost *:80 *:8888>

   ....
</VirtualHost>

    3. Restart apache2:

      sudo apache2ctl restart
