Ok so I configured my apache installation on Windows 7 such that it listens on port 8080 by changing the respective entry in httpd.config.
I was too stupid to realize that now I have to access localhost with :8080 at the end.
Question: is there a way to have my box automagically resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1:8080 ? I don’t like haviog to type :8080, and NO I CANNOT change the port to 80, I need that one for firewall.
Thanks
no. hostnames have nothing to do with ports. You’ll have to specify the port yourself, or set up a proxy on the usual port 80 that will do the 8080 requests on your behalf. … or bite the bullet and use port 80 directly and move your firewall elsewhere.
