Topic: Virtual Host on Non-Standard Port Apache 2.2

[nickchalloway]

I am trying to run VirtualHost on Apache 2.2 for two domains on
my home server, on a non standard port because my ISP blocks port 80.

I am trying to configure zoneedit to point the A Record to the correct port
ip:port (i.e. with the specific port appended) but I don't think they will let me do that. Otherwise I think I will have to setup a WebForward which I have
not been able to get to work with VirtualHost on Apache, I think because of
the way it forwards the headers. If I am mistaken please correct me.

Currently both domains are resolving to the first domain. I think this is happening because both are being forwarded to the same port.


Any ideas?

I thought maybe I could webforward them to differnet ports, but this is pretty complicated for a noob like me. If that is the only way to do it then this is what I will do.

Thanks,

Nick

the port has nothing to do with DNS

DNS just resolved somewhere to an IP adress

we have common tld's (top level domains - com, net, org, be, de, es...)

you probebly have a sub part of that

mydomain.com

the port is protocol dependend:
http = 80
https = 443
smtp = 25
pop3 = 110
ping = 0
...

so by entering a url http://mydomain.com the browser will use the default for the http protocol in this case 80, that can be overwritten by:
http://mydomain.com:8080 for example (although 8080 is usually a proxy)

this can't be done from the DNS since on the server mydomain.com can exist a lot services, mail, http, IRC...

a good solution is to dyndns.org for example they do support that!

your domain on port 80 is just a redirect to samedomain port 8080 wich you then listen too.
